Kiboga High Court handed down a death sentence on Monday to former prison warder James Anguyo after he was convicted of the brutal murder of four inmates at Kiboga Central Prison. The court heard that Anguyo, who had served at the facility for over a decade, orchestrated the killings in 2022 to silence a suspected gang leader among the prisoners. Evidence presented included forensic reports, eyewitness testimony from fellow staff, and a confession recorded during police interrogation. The judge emphasized the gravity of the crime, noting that the loss of life within a correctional institution undermines public trust in the justice system. Anguyo’s defense appealed for a commutation, citing his age and alleged mental health issues, but the court rejected the request, stating that the sentence reflects the severity of the offense and serves as a deterrent to future abuses.
