Brian Bagyenda, the prime suspect in the murder of Enid Twijukye, a former Ndejje University student, is expected to reappear in court today.
Bagyenda – son to new Internal Security Organisation (ISO) boss Rtd Col Frank Kaka Bagyenda – is due to appear before Nakawa Grade 1 magistrate Margaret Anyu.
The suspect who is charged with two others remains on remand at Luzira.
It is alleged that on January 3, 2017, the younger Bagyenda a 29-year-old pharmacist, invited his girlfriend Twijukye to his apartment in Luzira.
It is alleged that on that very night, Bagyenda, with the help of two friends, suffocated Twijukye and dumped her body in Namanve forest. In his confession upon arrest, Bagyenda narrated that on January 4, he became infuriated after finding pictures of his girlfriend posing with another man on a phone he had bought her.
“He connived with two people to murder my daughter. They had to increase the volume of the television so high that the neighbours couldn’t hear her screaming, then tied her legs and arms. They then sealed her lips with cellotape and suffocated her to death,” narrated a teary Nkoko, reconstructing the scene of crime in her head as confessed by Bagyenda.
After helping Bagyenda kill his girlfriend, 24-year-old Innocent Bainomugisha, and 28-year-old Vincent Rwahwire bundled Twijukye’s lifeless body into a green Toyota Ipsum. They drove from Luzira to Namanve, hoping no one would trace them. Meanwhile, as her daughter was lying lifeless in Namanve, Nkoko tried repeatedly to reach Twijukye’s phone in vain.
In his statement while in custody at Jinja Road police station, Bagyenda confessed that he had snuffed the life out of Twijukye with the help of Rwahwire and Bainomugisha.
In a short video, Bagyenda told police how the three suffocated Twijukye to death after a disagreement and how he had planned to go back and pick the body to give it a proper burial.
