Family demands fresh investigations into son's 2012 death at Chameleone’s home
Written by URN
The family
of Robert Karamagi, who allegedly got burnt at the home of popular local
musician Joseph Mayanja alias Jose Chameleone is demanding fresh
investigations into circumstances that led to his death in 2012.
It is alleged that Karamagi aged 27
then, was undressed and with his hands tied with a rope, doused with
aviation fuel before being set ablaze on December 26, 2012, at
Chameleones' home in Seguku, a Kampala suburb after being accused of
theft.
Now, in a petition to the director of public prosecutions
(DPP), the deceased's family through its lawyers of Ochieng Associated
Advocates and Solicitors and Nalukoola Advocates and Solicitors, says
that they have previously written to the Office of the DPP regarding the
same subject matter in vain.
"The predecessor [DPP] promised to
have the matter investigated afresh and assured members of the public
to handle the same to its logical conclusion," reads the petition dated
April 28, 2023.
The
petition adds that the previous DPP had pledged to allow Maj Benedicto
Kyamanywa, father of the deceased, an opportunity to give police further
information and have the file sanctioned.
"The purpose of this
letter is to invite your good office to consider reopening the file and
invite our client to give information regarding investigations and
reconstruction of the scene of the crime, which will culminate in
justice for our client's late son Karamagi Robert. We are appreciative
of your timely response in anticipation," further reads the petition.
On
January 10, 2017, the family's lawyers also asked the DPP to allow them
to join the team in investigating the case and preparation for the same
for prosecution. In the alternative, they asked the DPP to allow their
client to engage private investigators and institute private
proceedings.
Chameleone and his wife Daniella Atim
were at the time, accused of giving conflicting versions of the events
that led to Karamagi's death. On one hand, Chameleone allegedly told
investigators that Karamagi was a terrorist who had invaded his home
with a suicide mission of torching the house so as to finish off
Chameleone's family. Investigators however claimed that other family
members indicated that Karamagi was a thief who had been caught with the
family's TV and phones before he got apprehended by Chameleone's wife
and after a bitter exchange, he set himself ablaze.
Earlier, on
November 30, 2016, the family through their lawyers also wrote to the
DPP complaining about the mishandling of the case, which was reported at
Katwe police station referenced as KMP/E/01/2013.
They said that before his demise at
Mulago hospital, Karamagi reportedly told his father and people around
clearly that "I was tied with a rope and burnt with aviation fuel inside
Joseph Mayanja's residence as I pleaded for mercy and its Jose
Chameleone himself who burnt me."
The complaint also adds that
"the purpose of this communication hereof is to put forth the plight of
this family and to request that you prevail over this matter and fresh
investigations be carried out so as to ascertain the truth of the
murder.”
On December 9, 2016, the then DPP, Mike
Chibita, now a Supreme court justice, wrote to the family saying that
following their meeting, it was established that he had fresh evidence
to implicate the suspects.
A decision was then taken to reopen
investigations, and he wrote a letter on March 10, 2015, directing the
director of CIID to conduct fresh investigations. Chibita added that
since then, he did not receive the file back for review and directed the
director to give them an update on the progress. The office of the DPP
is yet to disclose its plan regarding this fresh petition.
Chameleone,
who couldn't be reached, has since denied the allegations levied
against him in statements released through his Leone Island Music
Empire.
