Kampala — Reportedly, a witchdoctor-turned-devout Christian, Musoke told the Police he saw a vision that ordered him to go and set fire to the tombs.
Subsequent inquiry suggests the gentleman has a history of mental illness, and interviews with his relatives cast doubt on his confession. This does not necessarily discount his confession but means it should be gone over with a fine comb.
In addition, the Police say they have three other suspects in custody. It is amazing that no progress has been made so far.
Following the hundreds of onlookers who trampled all over the tombs the night of the fire, it was going to be hard to reconstruct the scene of the crime in a way that would bring up useful leads.
