Kiboga Prison Warder convicted on own guilty plea over killing of four people

The High Court in Kiboga has convicted prison warder Moses Anguyo after he pleaded guilty to charges arising from a shooting at Kiboga Government Prison that left four people dead.

Anguyo, prison warder No. 13544, who was attached to Kiboga Government Prison, admitted to four counts of murder, two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of threatening violence.

The charges stem from the 23 February shooting at Kiboga Central Prison, in which four people were killed. The victims were Assistant Superintendent of Prisons Catherine Hope, Principal Officer I Bright Akishuri, Sarah Ayebare and her infant son, Salson Niwagaba.

Anguyo entered his guilty plea before Justice Jane Okuo Kajuga during a special High Court session held in Kiboga.

Following his admission, Justice Kajuga convicted him on all the charges on Sunday, 31 August 2026.

The court is expected to sentence Anguyo today, 1 September 2026.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has asked the court to impose the maximum sentence of death.
