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]P[/dropcap]resident Yoweri Museveni is reportedly disturbed by the high number of cases of land grabbing involving officials from the State House and the Office of the President. This was revealed on Friday by Ms Phiona Barungi, the State House Special Assistant on General Duties while meeting land-grabbing victims in Luwero district. Barungi said the president had been lately overwhelmed by complaints about State House officials tormenting scores of people, especially in central Uganda. “There’s just too many complaints about State House employees,” she said. “We have become a big problem, even the president himself, who gave us these jobs is concerned… He does not know what to do.” “He sent us to serve the people but we are now serving our stomachs. It has gotten to a point where almost every state house official is involved in a land wrangle somewhere.” In a meeting held in Zirobwe village in Bukyimu sub-county in Bamunakika, Barungi said her office was being bombarded daily by helpless people. Some of these are facing death threats from powerful people. “Yesterday I had just landed from Turkey, I even was feeling sick. I found a man at the airport waiting for me,” Barungi told the meeting. “He told me that a man connected to Gen Muhoozi Kairerugaba was hunting him to kill him and take his land. When I asked around, it turned out that this man has no connection to Gen Muhoozi. He is just a serial land grabber.” In the meeting, the residents singled out a number of people who have been harassing them. These also went ahead destroying their crop gardens, and metting out all manner of violence to force them out of their land. The Minister of Lands Hon Sam Mayanja during the meeting ordered an immediate arrest of two of these land grabbers. They include Mary Babirye and Rasmus Kagaba.
