Bushenyi tycoon, John Headex Rwamutwe was kidnapped Tuesday night from Bushenyi town and was today morning found dead in Ibanda district.

According to Bushenyi district police commander Damiano Katwesiime, they got information from Ibanda police that Rwamutwe had been found dead in his surf red vehicle.

PRO Tumusiime who is currently at the scene in Ibanda told www.mknewslink.com editor on phone that police headquarters advised Ibanda and Bushenyi police not to touch the vehicle and body until forensic experts arrive from Kampala.

“We have been waiting here since morning, The vehicle is still locked by the way I cannot confirm whether the body inside of John Rwamutwe or another person” he said.

He confirmed that the OC Nyamushekyera prison stopped his guards at the gate to shoot in the air when they had assailants beating the deceased after they had kidnapped from Bushenyi town.

The prisons guards who were manning the prisons gate heard and saw the vehicle where Rwamutwe was being tortured but when they contacted their boss for orders to shoot in the air, he refused and instead opted to call DPC Katwesiime long after the assailants had driven off the deceased in his vehicle.

Residents of Bushenyi town are all blaming the OC Nyamushekyera, who has been a cadet but was confirmed a month ago into prisons service. He doesnot have any experience in security according to sources from prisons.

IN KABALE—

The Resident district Commissioner Darius Nandinda has accused the
Inspector General of Government Kabale for not investigating and
issuing reports of cases reported to him.
Nandinda says that on 20th June 2014, he petitioned the Inspector
General of Government (IGG) to investigate alleged inflation of the
bills of quantities for the renovation of district Rukiiko hall.
Kabale district local government had signed a contract with Kabale
joiners and Contractors Company limited to renovate the Rukiiko hall
at 44,238,826 shillings.
He claimed that the square meter of tiles was valued at 35,000
Shillings but the procurement had been put at 150, 000 Shillings.
However Nandinda claims that since they logged the compliant to the
office of the IGG, he has never received the report of the findings.
Nandinda wants the IGG to explain why the complaints logged to his
office are delayed.

The Inspector General of Government Kabale Sam Agaba however says that
the case investigated and a report was issued. He says that the report
was released on 16th April 2015 after they found no evidence obtained
by the investigations.
He however adds that they had sent the copy of the report to the RDC
shortly after investigating the matter.
In April this year, Chief Justice Bart Katureebe criticized the
Inspector General of Government (IGG) on account of not prosecuting
magistrates caught red-handed in acts of corruption
