“It’s obvious from the pictures we show that our brother died a very painful and a brutal death. There are very many questions about Bonny’s death and yet very few answers. We urge the police to carry out very swift investigations so that the truth gets out about the Bonny’s death.”

Eulogising the deceased, Bobi Wine added: “Bonny was a great supporter of People Power and indeed a mobiliser and as People Power we are deeply saddened by his passing. We commiserate with Bonny’s family and we pray the Good Lord comforts you all.”

Speaking last week on the murder, Police Spokesperson, CP Fred Enaga cautioned politicians from uttering false statement.

“We would like to caution the media and politicians to stop politicizing the alleged murder of the victim. Their claims have no substance at this stage,” he said.
