Festos Wawuya

Any suspect was instantly presumed guilty and eliminated.  Between January and August 1972, in a wave of intensified political violence, political prisoners who had been locked behind bars because of their presumed opposition to the Amin regime were killed.  Most were members of the Police, the GSU, and the Civil Service who had served Obote with loyalty, including the brass of the Police Central Intelligence Department, which had investigated Amin's part in the murder of Brigadier Okoya.  The victims included Mohammmed hassan, the chief of /CID, Festus Wawuyo, his deputy, and Ochungi, another deputy in the CID.  Twenty Acholi/ Langi Military bandsmen who had been arrested and put under the care of Major Hussein Marella in December 1971 were also killed in this period, reportedly on Amin's orders.  Hundreds of people were trapped in the vicious circle of violence.  All the members of these paramilitary units used violence for their own selfish motives: the demarcation line between officially sponsored and private violence was very thin.

Sebuliba offended Amin by attending the play's first night., while Dan Kintu was director of the National , Theatre — since the kidnapping and murder early in 1977 of the previous director, Byron Kawadwa. In accordance with usual ptactice, the bodies were meant to be disposed of in the Nile. However, Lieutenant Mutengo finally agreed instead to hand over the three corpses to kinspeople.

Lance Corporal Tulio Lam

Lance Corporal Tulio Lam was being taken to Mbarara hospital by Col Omoya.

Col Omoya was killed in Mbarara in freak accident in 1968. Omoya was driving from the barracks 4 miles outside Mbarara taking Lance Corporal Tulio Lam to Mbarara hospital. A truck hit the car and Omoya was seriously wounded but was not dead. He spent three days in Mbarara Hospital without and any critical care provision and died. In 1969 Lance Corporal Tulio Lam who was the passenger in the car Omoya was driving was poisoned with methanol (industrial alcohol) which looks like Uganda waragi. All known witnesses were subsequently killed or died.
