Police have summoned the Buwekula County Member of Parliament, Pascal Mbabazi together with the Mubende LC5 chairperson, Muhereza Michael Ntambi for questioning over their alleged role in inciting violence that led to the murder of a couple in Mubende over a land dispute.
Last month, Milly Naava Namutebi and her husband, Abudallah Kayizzi were attacked and killed in a land wrangle at Kirwanyi village, Kiruuma sub-county in Mubende district at around 8am as they went to the garden with their two children. The two children survived.
Five people have been arrested and charged to court over the murder and attempted murder.
Addressing a press briefing on Monday, Police spokesperson, Fred Enanga said the two leaders are accused of having fueled and incited acts of violence that later led to the gruesome murder of the couple.
He explained that whereas the area MP and the LC5 chairperson didn’t participate in the gruesome murder , some of their relatives were actively involved, adding that investigators seek to record statements from them to help in their investigations.
Enanga said an LC3 chairperson, Steven Ahimbisibwe has already recorded a statement in this regard.
