The Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) has sanctioned murder charges against Mathew Kanyamunyu in connection to the shooting of Kenneth Akena.

Akena was shot by unknown people. He reportedly gave a dying declaration to his brother claiming that he was shot dead by the very people who took him to hospital for treatment.

The suspects, Matthew Kanyamunyu and his Burundian girlfriend Cynthia Munangwari have been in police custody since November 12 when they were arrested following the shooting of Akena, which they both deny.

Kanyamunyu will be charged together with his girlfriend and two brothers Joseph and Moses who were arrested last Thursday to help with the investigations.

Following the shooting, several questions have been raised including why there was no victim’s blood in Kanyamunyu’s car in which he was reportedly transported to the hospital following the shooting.

However, Kaweesi said this was possible because the bullet did not go through Akena.

“The bullet did not come out. It remained in his (Akena’s) body,” Mr Kaweesi said in a televised interview with NTV.
