After a long time while out of the country, former NBS TV journalist, Joy Doreen Biira, who now works with KTN TV in Kenya was finally in her home town, Kasese, the scene of macabre killings that have attracted nationwide attention and condemnation.
The gorgeous lady news anchor had returned for her traditional wedding on Saturday and at this time anyone would be enjoying blissful moments but that isn’t the case with Biira. She is in prison! Biira was arrested last night with five others including her husband for taking photos of the killings in Kasese and sharing them on social media.
The gruesome photos of Rwenzururu King Charles Wesley Mumbere’s guards have since gone viral on social media.
But despite an earlier promise made by Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Andrew Felix Kaweesi to have her released today morning, she is still behind bars and we have since learnt that police is now searching the house in which her in-laws were staying.
“Flying Squad is doing the search in presence of Joy Doreen Biira and fiancé,” says her lawyer and human rights activist Nicholas Opiyo.
So far 55 people had been confirmed dead by Sunday morning prior to the attack of the army on the Rwenzururu King’s palace. The number is believed to have doubled after the attack on the palace that also saw Mumbere arrested.
