As he tried to drive off with the car, an irate group of youths and community vigilante members rounded the suspect up. From here, they started to lynch him for his attempted crime.
During this scuffle, Fr Mugisha Richard called the police to help save the suspect from death, about an hour and a half from when the beating started.
A police patrol team, led by AIP Okello Patrick, responded and rescued the wounded suspect who they transferred to Masaka CPS after 1 am. At around 6:30 am the following morning, the cell guard realized that the suspect felt unwell due to the beating.
The cell guard then alerted his colleagues who had Mr. Kyeyune transferred to the hospital for treatment. The victim, unfortunately, passed away during this process.
Among the statements recorded were those from the Reverend, and other vigilantes who were involved in the scuffle.
There has however been some rumor spreading that the investigation is due to Rev. Fr. Mugisha views about the government.
Many said police intended to witch hunt or victimize the reverend. The investigations however are purely about the crime of murder and how to bring the perpetrators to justice.
‘’We continue to investigate every lead that we receive as we work to secure justice for the victim and his immediate family. Any decision coming out of the investigation will be based on facts. To our young politicians, allegations of murder, including mob justice, should not be treated as politics,’’ CP Fred Enanga said.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
