KAMPALA.
Makerere University don and political commentator Dr Jim Spire Ssentongo has given a new twist in the death of his elder brother ,Dr John Bosco Spire Kiggundu saying he peacefully died of heart attack ,not being murdered .
In a post on X(Twitter ) on Monday afternoon , Dr Ssentongo ,a celebrated cartoonist dismissed social media reports that Dr Kiggundu’s death had any connection to murder .
“It is not true that he was shot and dumped in a trench . He is was not kidnapped by anyone . It is not true that he was killed by anyone for political or other reasons ,”
“The post-mortem report( credibly done) shows that he died of heart attack and was only found a day after ,” he added in his post
“ Kindly disregard the disinformation that may cause unnecessary harm and hatred to others ,” Dr Ssentongo said
Dr Kiggundu was the director and proprietor of Henrob Hospital in Zzana ,on the outskirts of Kampala City . According to police preliminary investigations contained in a statement issued on Sunday evening , Dr Kiggundu was found dead at Dreams Guest House located in KKB Cell, Kajjansi Town Council at 2:5pm.
The police statement reveal that unidentified lady entered the guest home room at 17:47 hours( 5:47pm)and spent like an hour in the room till 18:54 hours (6:54pm).
“At 18:53hours (6:53pm) she moved out of the room and went back again in the room .Upon leaving ,she was seen moving out with a polystyrene bag with unidentified items ,but was never seen entering with the bag according to the cameras in the Guest House,”
It is not clear how Dr Kiggundu met his death and the intention of his killing . It is also speculative on whether the said lady/woman mentioned in the police report is the one who killed Dr Kiggundu or was just an accomplice.
