A source said that following thorough interrogation of seven of the over 20 suspects currently in detention, some of them revealed that Bruhan recruited, paid and made a rendition with them on how to end the life of the popular Police boss.
Red Pepper also said the history of the call logs of one of his telephone lines that was got from phones of Kaweesi murder suspects currently in detention indicate that before the Police commander was murdered, Bruhan was staying and operation around Kisaasi, Kyanja and Kampala areas for over three months. Unfortunately. that number that was retrieved is not registered and has not been on since the Kulambiro shooting.
Bruhan is also said to be the leader of some well-connected criminal and killer gangs that have been targeting businessmen and security officers.
