He was the general manager of Lake Victoria Bottling Company. He was among the 12 people who were brought from Luzira prison on the afternoon of September 9, 1977, in a prison bus to Clock Tower on Entebbe Road with their heads masked with black clothes. They were immediately tied on trees and shot several times in the head and chest.

After the execution, the bodies were not handed to the respective relatives for burial. Instead, they were immediately wrapped into sacks and given to prison officers with a strict instruction to go and dispose them.
some people saw the bodies being ferried from Kampala towards Jinja. Not much is known of where the bodies were buried, but there is speculation that they were either buried in a secret grave in Mabira Forest or thrown in River Nile
