A section of Family Members to suspects in the murder of  Makerere student Emmanuel Tegu has on Wednesday morning added their voice to the circumstances in which he died.

A couple of them have revealed that they first heard 3 gunshots being fired by the police at the deceased in what seemed to be a cat and mouse chase.

Jane Aguti, a sister to one of the suspects in police custody Nicholas Omase, told the URN that police action of firing at the deceased could have triggered the reaction of the mob who blindly assumed he was a criminal.

She alleges that police are trying to cover up for shooting the 1st stone by 1st firing.

Aguti claims she still doesn’t know who really battered Tegu because her brother was not at the scene at the time.

Tom Ogwang a father to two arrested suspects Reagan Ogwang and Sharon Ogwang,shares in the same sentiments by claiming police are trying to cover up on their role in Tegu’s death.

Ogwanga, the senior administrative staff at Makerere University, told the URN that police surrounded his home on Monday.

He says without any search warrant , they grabbed his Son in his underwear without any explanation and later summoned his daughter to theWandegeya police division where she was eventually detained

Fred Enanga the police mouthpiece says police have CCTV footage showing how the deceased was violent towards police patrol team by pelting stones after he was found half-naked at Makerere University.

Enanga says they suspect his mental health condition -bipolar could have escalated his reaction to police.

Enanga says Tegu started chasing the officers while throwing stones at them as he headed towards St, Agustine church alerting a mob within that pounced on him beating him into a comma. The mob allegedly mistook him for a thief.

The police came to his rescue and rushed him to hospital but he was pronounced dead on the 3rd of July at Mulago Hospital where he had been admitted.

Fr. Joseph Ddungu, the Chaplain St Augustine Chapel is expected to release CCTV footage about the incident this morning in the presence of police and media.
