Felix Kamwesiga, the nephew of former deputy attorney general Mwesigwa Rukutana who went missing five days ago has been found dead.

According to Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire, the 27-year-old’s body was found at Mulago mortuary having been taken there by officers from Kabalagala police. The circumstances leading to his death remain unclear.

According to our sources who preferred not to be quoted as they never wanted to speak to the media for fear of jeopardizing investigations, the deceased was working with a labour recruitment company.

“CEO of T and N Miracle Agencies management regret to announce the missing of their staff Kamwesiga Felix. He was last sighted on Friday at our offices at 5 pm. Whoever knows his whereabouts should report to any nearby police station or call the managing director…,” a statement from his employer stated.

Rukutana had earlier in the day told our reporter that he was unsettled by Kamwesiga’s missing and needed time since he had gotten some links regarding his whereabouts.

“My nephew Kamwesiga went missing Friday night. He was last sighted in Makindye around 4 am Saturday morning. Anybody with information about his whereabouts is welcome and will be rewarded,” Rukutana posted on his WhatsApp status.
