Ugandan businessman publicly confesses to killing child rights

activist, to pay 10 cows, 3 goats reparation to family

Mathew Kanyamunyu, a Ugandan businessman, who killed a child rights activist Kenneth Akena Watmon, on Saturday afternoon, September 12, 2020, admitted to the crime and has agreed to pay 10 cows and three goats reparation for the offence.

Born on November 29, 1983 in Gandyang town, Kitgum district, late Akena was working with ACODEV as a child protection specialist under a USAID project at the time of his death in 2016.

It was gathered that Akena accidentally knocked Kanyamunyu's car in a parking lot in Lugogo, Kampala.

Akena had reportedly gone to apologise to Kanyamunyu after the accident, but Kanyamunyu instead lowered the window of his car and shot him in the stomach with a pistol at close range. According to the family, a postmortem report revealed two bullets inside Akena's body.

Akena died a few hours later at Norvic hospital, where he had been taken by the accused. Kanyamunyu has since then been on trial together with his Burundian girlfriend Cynthia Munwangari and sibling Joseph Kanyamunyu who allegedly hid the killer gun. But throughout the trial, Kanyamunyu and his girlfriend insisted that they only took Akena to hospital as good Samaritans.

He should be killed too
