William Luwandagga was picked by the community and handed over to the police on suspicions that he killed his father during a domestic brawl. Statements were taken from the four family members that included a widow and two other children who were in the house at the time Luwandagga died.

A post-mortem request was sent to Mulago hospital where the body was being kept to study whether or not William had a hand in the death of his father thus the results which Mr Kayima says rules out murder.
Luwandagga will be buried on Monday at his ancestral home at Wamala-Katooke in Wakiso.
