Dressed in a checkered shirt, a brown jacket and holding a white polythene bag, a smiling Besigye was escorted by counter terrorism police personnel.

We understand that he will be charged with murder in relation to the death of Edison Nasasira, an FDC supporter, who was killed during a stampede at Rukungiri stadium last week.

A postmortem report showed that Nasasira was killed by a bullet although police insists that he was hit by a stone.

On Tuesday evening, Besigye was driven from Naggalama police division to Mbarara.

He spent the night at Mbarara Central Police Station. At 6.30 am today, he was driven at break neck speed, in a heavily guarded police convoy, to Rukungiri, using the Ntungamo-Kabale road.

Besigye and four other FDC officials, had been at Naggalama prison since Thursday following his arrest while he was headed to Kabale district.

Others are; FDC secretary for Mobilization, Ingrid Turinawe, FDC presidential candidate Patrick Amuriat and Rukungiri district councillor, Innocent Tashobya.
