A government ballistic expert has told the International Crimes Division of the High Court that that the two slain Muslim sheikhs; Mustafa Bahiga, Hassan Ibrahim Kirya\u00a0 and slain\u00a0 senior Principle\u00a0 State Attorney Joan Kagezi were murdered using bullets fired by the same gun,\u00a0 an AK-47.<\/p>\n

Robinah Kirinya has appeared\u00a0as\u00a0prosecution witness number ten in a murder case against 14 suspects including the leader of the Tabliq sect Yunus Kamoga and his brother Siraje Kawooya.<\/p>\n

The suspects are accused of engineering the murder of sheikhs Bahiga and Hassan Kirya.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Bahiga was murdered from Bwebajja Mosque in December 2014, Sheikh Kirya was murdered in Bweyogere in July\u00a02015 whereas Kagezi who was the lead prosecutor in the 2010 twin bombings case was shot dead in\u00a0Kiwatule on March 30th \/2015.<\/p>\n

Kirinya has testfied that\u00a0between January and October 2015, while at the Government analytical Laboratory\u00a0in Wandegeya,\u00a0she received instructions from Kajjansi\u00a0 Bweyogerere and Kiwatule\u00a0 police stations respectively\u00a0 to examine\u00a0 bullet cartridges to establish the make and probable type\u00a0 of rifle that could\u00a0 have fired them.<\/p>\n

Kirinya has told court that \u00a0basing on the\u00a0 similarities regarding the relative position of shooting and an indication of possible\u00a0 common origin of the\u00a0 cartridges, she was able to conclude that the three murders were committed using\u00a0 the same gun.<\/p>\n

The expert concluded that the cartridges were fired by an AK-47 gun and it’s variants\u00a0manufactured in different years but could not ably establish\u00a0 the manufacturer of the guns due to limited materials.<\/p>\n

She further testified that\u00a0police also asked her to establish whether the same riffle was\u00a0used to fire bullets that killed other Shiekhs in Mayuge district,\u00a0Old Kampala and Matugga between 2013 and 2014.<\/p>\n

However Kirinya\u00a0said\u00a0\u00a0 she found no similarity and relation to cartridges used\u00a0in those other murders.<\/p>\n

The ballistic expert’s\u00a0four reports containing her findings and conclusions and the bullet cartridges have been\u00a0tendered in court as exhibits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
