Former Police Special Operations commander Nixon Agasirwe has been charged and remanded over the murder of state prosecutor, Joan Kagezi.
Kagezi was gunned down by unknown assailants in 2015 as she returned home in Kiwatule, a Kampala suburb.
At the time of her killing, Kagezi was prosecuting suspects involved in the infamous 2010 twin bombing case at the High Court of Kampala.
On Monday, Agasiirwe was charged with murder, contrary to sections 183 and 184 of the Penal Code.
He was however not allowed to take plea since he faces a capital offence only tried by the High Court.
State prosecutor, Joseph Kyomuhendo told court that investigations into the matter are still ongoing.
Consequently, Nakawa Chief Magistrate, Esther Nyadoi remanded Agasiirwe to Luzira Prison until July, 8.
