Kampala– On Tuesday, 31st March 2026, Moses Anguyo 34 years, Prison Warder No. 13544, Principal Suspect in the murder of three Prisons officers, was arraigned before Kiboga Magistrates Court.
He appeared before Her Worship Jonad Kusasira, Magistrate Grade I who charged her with murder contrary section 171 and 172 of the penalty code, Threatening Violence and Aggravated Robbery.
Being that the offences are capital in nature and can be heard only by High Court, he was not allowed to say anything before the Magistrates Court.
The three co-accused, Anziku Peter, Anziku Peter alias Okuonzi Dickson, and Amviko Hellen are charged with accessories after the fact to felony.
Being that investigations in the matter are still under way, Anguyo and his co accused were remanded to Kitalya Mini max Prison, well as his wife was remanded to Luzira Prison women wing.
Prosecution represented by Mr. Stephen Ariong, Senior State Attorney, and Ms. Joan Gaswaga, State Attorney, both from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions contends that on 23rd February 2026, at Kiboga District with malice aforethought, Anguyo unlawfully caused the deaths of ASP Catherine Hope, PO1 Akishuri Bright, Ayebare Sarah, and Niwagaba Salson.
It is also alleged that, during the same course of events, Anguyo robbed victims including Katusiime Grace and Nabayiga Mary of their property, using a deadly weapon, namely a firearm.
The charge sheet also implicates three co-accused, Anziku Peter, Anziku Peter alias Okuonzi Dickson, and Amviko Hellen, who are charged as accessories after the fact to felony. It is alleged that, being relatives of the principal accused, they assisted him to evade arrest and escape from lawful custody following the commission of the offences.
His appearance in court follows a coordinated cross-border operation that led to his arrest in Aru, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He had reportedly fled Uganda and was found hiding in a farm in Aru Village owned by one Andama, where he was being concealed by one Hitler Pariyo.
The arrest was successfully executed by Police acting on intelligence provided by the Uganda Prisons Service. This was as a result of an effective inter-agency collaboration in the pursuit of justice.
