Wanted Dr Kiyingi over Murder of his Wife Dies in Australia.

Ugandan-born Australian cardiologist, Dr. Aggrey Kiyingi who was wanted for the murder of his wife, is dead. The cause of death is yet to be established according to his current wife but she says communication on the vigil and burial shall be relayed.

Dr Kiyingi was accused of allegedly masterminding the murder of his wife, Robinah Kiyingi, a Kampala lawyer who was gunned down at her home in Buziga. She was killed a few weeks to the ruling in a divorce case filed by Dr.Kiyingi in Mengo chief magistrate court after accusing the wife of adultery.

Kiyingi was arrested and charged over the murder but he was later released on bail. He was later acquitted of killing his wife.

In 2015, he was accused of masterminding the murder of Muslim clerics in the country. He was also accused of funding ADF activities.

Nakawa Magistrates court summoned Kiyingi to appear and answer charges of terrorism and murder and the court warned that he didnt show up, an arrest warrant would be issued.

The  arrest warrant was later issued against him and police threatened to have him extradited from Australia  to face charges of murder, terrorism, crimes against humanity and attempted murder.

According to the state, Kiyingi had offered training, recruitment and logistical support to rebels fighting to overthrow the Uganda government.

Prosecution said  Kiyingi channeled the funds through his remanded relative Aisha Nakasibante and both were accused of complicity in the assassination of prominent Muslim clerics Sheikh Abdul Muwaya and Sheikh Mustafa Bahiga.

The DPP would however later discontinue terrorism charges against Dr.Kiyingi.
