Family of suspect who died in police cells disagrees with Enanga report
The family of the late Coster Muhongya has rejected a police assertion that their relative was a sympathiser of ADF.
The assertion, by police spokesperson Fred Enanga last week, followed an admission by the government that the 75 year old Muhongya had died at the hands of security in the cells of the Special Investigations Unit in Kireka, Kampala which is nearly 400kms from Kasese where he had been arrested.
The police force insisted that he had been involved in rebel activity before he was arrested.
But the family says the police need to produce irrefutable evidence of its assertions, as Muhongya had never left his village or owned a mobile phone before he was arrested and killed. According to the family, their relative was picked up from his garden where he was doing some work before being driven off in a drone to an unknown location that later turned out to be SIU Kireka.
