Rev Dominic Alinga who is accused of killing a Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) employee, John Bosco Ngorok has been further remanded to prison after the state prosecutor in the murder case against him failed to appear in the Entebbe Magistrate’s Court to give an update on the progress of police investigations.
The court’s Senior Magistrate Grade One, Mr Edgar Tibayeita Tusiime remanded Rev Alinga to Kigo Prison until November 18 for further mention of the case.
