Four Charged Over Murder Of Former City Accountant

Four people have been charged with murder and conspiracy to murder in connection with the deaths of former city accountant Isaac Kasirye and his employee Eriabu Makumbi in Luwero District.

The suspects appeared in court as investigations into the two killings continue.

Prosecutors told court that the accused were allegedly involved in attacks carried out on separate occasions.

The court remanded the four suspects until 10 September 2026, when they are expected to return for further proceedings.

Kasirye, a former city accountant and Makumbi were killed in separate incidents according to the prosecution’s account presented in court.

Authorities have linked the two cases and brought the four suspects before court on charges of murder and conspiracy to murder.

However, prosecutors have not yet publicly provided a detailed account of how the alleged offences were planned or what evidence they intend to rely on at trial.

The four accused were remanded until September as investigators continue gathering evidence.

Police and prosecutors are expected to establish the circumstances surrounding the two deaths, the relationship between the alleged offences and the individual roles of each accused person.

Investigators may also seek additional evidence and witness testimony as the case progresses.

For the families of Kasirye and Makumbi, the court proceedings mark another stage in efforts to establish what happened to the two men and hold those responsible to account.

The four suspects are due back in court on 10 September, while investigations into the killings continue.
