Ssebulime was gunned down in cold blood on March 24, 2019 at Nagojje trading center in Mukono district after Nantaba raised false alarm that he was trailing on a motorcycle with intentions of harming her.
The deceased was apprehended, handcuffed and dumped on police patrol. He was later pulled off the truck and shot to death at close range.
So far only corporal David Ssali, who admitted to have pulled the trigger, has appeared before court. Nantaba has repeatedly ignored police summons to record a statement on the incident.
