Shocking evidence has been presented in the Entebbe Chief Magistrate’s Court, revealing a chilling tale of betrayal and murder involving a Catholic priest.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has detailed how Ex. Rev. Fr. Dominic Alinga allegedly killed his close friend, John Bosco Ngorok, in a fit of rage after discovering that Ngorok had been involved with his secret lover.
The indictment, read by lead prosecutor Janet Kitimbo on January 11, paints a disturbing picture of revenge. Ngorok, an employee of the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA), was accused of exposing Fr. Alinga’s secret affair to church authorities, which led to the priest’s suspension. Bound by his vows of celibacy, Fr. Alinga’s hidden desires had already placed him on a dangerous path—one that ended in bloodshed.
According to the prosecution, CCTV footage captured the priest and Ngorok together on the night of August 2, traveling along the Kampala-Entebbe Express Highway.
Unknown to Ngorok, his fate had already been sealed. Earlier that evening, Fr. Alinga had been seen purchasing a knife at Port Bell Supermarket in Kireka. The weapon, carefully selected, was later used in a brutal attack.
At around 11 p.m., the accused allegedly confronted Ngorok in his vehicle, accusing him of betrayal. The argument escalated, and in a sudden burst of violence, Ngorok was stabbed in the neck. Bleeding heavily, he stumbled out of the car in a desperate bid for survival.
A passing motorcyclist, identified as Mugisha, witnessed the harrowing scene. Ngorok pleaded for help, but Fr. Alinga reportedly chased after him, shouting that he was a thief.
When Mugisha hesitated, the priest changed his approach, claiming that Ngorok was his brother and needed urgent assistance. Under this deception, he was allowed to continue his pursuit.
Despite his injuries, Ngorok managed to make one final call to his family from the hospital, revealing that he had been attacked by Fr. Alinga over a woman. Those words were his last.
In an attempt to cover his tracks, the priest is said to have deliberately run over both Ngorok and the motorcyclist before abandoning his vehicle and fleeing.
His escape took him nearly 270 kilometers away to Tororo, where he sought refuge at a friend’s house. However, the intense media coverage and a growing police manhunt left him with little choice but to surrender.
Now in custody at Kigo Prison, Fr. Alinga faces overwhelming evidence against him. The prosecution intends to present CCTV footage, forensic reports, a postmortem examination, DNA analysis, and phone records to secure a conviction.
Chief Magistrate Stella Maris Amabilis has committed the case to the High Court for trial.
