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.
