Pastor Kyomuhendo Connives With Cops To Kill Case:
Masereka told this website that after burying his brother with the rest of the family, they went back to Kira Road Police where the case had been transferred.

We proceeded to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in Kampala and I’m happy because they have picked interest in the matter and called for the file,” Masereka on Thursday.
The office of the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) finally called case file with SD reference: 04/23/10/2019 CRB 140/2019 after the complainant filed a complaint with his office that police at Kira Road station were conniving with the relatives of Kyomuhendo Prudence to change the charges from murder to manslaughter.
In the complainant’s petition that was delivered to the DPP’s office, Masereka expressed his worry and alleged unfairness about how police handled his case.
