A witness in the ongoing investigations into the murder of fallen Butaleja District Woman Member of Parliament Cerina Nebanda has refuted claims that it was Adam Kalungi, Cerinah's former boyfriend who killed the youthful Member of Parliament.
Mr Grace Kigenyi and a very close friend to Kalungi told court that the Kalungi confided in him moments after the MP had been pronounced dead and that his narration did not point towards him taking part in her death. He said he believed everything Adam Kalungi told him as truth since he had never told him lies before.
Kigeynyi told court that if it was actually Kalungi who had killed Nebanda, he would have said the truth. He said Kalungi fled the country because he was scared of being detained by the police for the crime he did not commit.
The witness made the confession during cross examination after one of the defense lawyers; Nsubuga Mubiru, asked him to confirm to court whether he believed the information Kalungi told him leading to the death of the MP was right.
It was his evidence, he told court that Kalungi had informed him that during the day time of December 14 while he was in town, he received a call from the MP that she was unwell and that she was at his residence in Buziga, Kampala. He said Kalungi then rushed home and indeed found the MP unwell.
He said Kalungi told him that on arrival at his home, he found the MP unwell and cocaine and heroin drugs on the table next to her. She had also opened a bottle of wine.
The witness further told court that Kalungi informed him that he then called a friend to help him take the MP to the nearby clinic where she got first aid before being referred to Mukwaya General Clinic in Nsambya for further Examination.
He said that Kalungi told him that moments later, the medics pronounced the legislator dead and that he took off and wanted to seek refuge in Jinja where he narrated to him what had exactly happened.
Mr Kigenyi also told court that he advised Kalungi to report the unfortunate happenings to the police but he declined fearing that the police would instead lock him up for the crime he had not committed.
