{The Police have completed carrying out investigations into the second file in which a total of 181 suspects including Rwenzururu king Charles Wesley Mumbere are being charged in connection with last year\u2019s bloody clashes in Kasese.}<\/p>\n

Briefing the Jinja Chief Magistrates\u2019 Court on Tuesday, state prosecutor Mr James Muliro said that the committal papers are being drafted in a bid to have the suspects sent to the International Crimes Division of the High Court (ICD) at the next court session to stand trial.<\/p>\n

To that effect, presiding Chief Magistrate John Francis Kaggwa adjourned the case to May 25 when the king and his subjects are expected to be committed to the ICD.<\/p>\n

The Omusinga alongside his royal guards were arrested in November last year after the police and military stormed his palace looking for people they suspected to have taken refuge, a raid that left over 100 people dead including police officers.<\/p>\n

Following the bloody clashes, the state has since slapped several charges ranging from treason and terrorism, to murder and aggravated robbery.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the sidelines of the court, the Leader of Opposition in Parliament, Ms Winfred Kiiza tasked the state to speed up the investigations and have this case heard.<\/p>\n

She lamented that the state has spent six months without concluding the investigations and have sent the accused on trial before the ICD.<\/p>\n

Ms Kiiza added that the problem with the state is that they first arrest suspects before they commence carrying out investigations, a scenario she said is a bad practice.<\/p>\n

The Rwenzururu king is currently out on bail alongside his Prime Minister Johnson Thembo Kitsumbire.<\/p>\n

The duo despite being out on bail, have had their movements limited to the districts of Kampala, Wakiso and Jinja.<\/p>\n
