The subjects of Rwenzururu king, Charles Wesley Mumbere have been left devastated by the news that the monarch dismembered bodies of three men, packed them in two sacks and dumped in Kasese Town.

The shocking revelations have been made by Kasese Mayor Godfrey Kabbyanga, a former confident and close ally of Mumbere.
Mr Kabbyanga told Chimpreports that Johnson Muhindo, Godfrey Baluku and Ruth Bamulange were reportedly sentenced to death by the Omusinga.
“One of the sacks was dumped near the late Gen James Kazini’s hotel,” recalled Kabbyanga, a sidekick of the jailed King.
Police brought sniffer dogs which led detectives to the main gate of Rwenzururu palace. The detectives were blocked from accessing the tightly-guarded palace.
Kabbyanga said Mumbere’s guards continued to execute a reign of terror in the Kasese and Kabarole which had to be stopped.
“We met the King several times with his brother Christopher Kibazanga, Col Mawa and Dr Crispus Kiyonga but he never listened,” he added, “We told the King that this situation was unacceptable.”

Asked why Mumbere refused to listen to their concerns, Kabbyanga observed: “He believes in witchcraft. He thought no one would touch him. He allowed Congolese witchdoctors to confuse him. He thought he was bigger than the president.”
Kabbyanga’s shattering blow comes at the end of a heartbreaking week after clashes between government security forces and the royal guards of Mumbere, left up to 100 people dead.
The dead included 16 police officers who were attacked in different parts of Kasese district on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 November, when the army and police raided Mumbere’s Buhikira Palace and administrative offices.
