Kabugombe Charles, aged 50, has declined to attend a reconciliation meeting organized by the Ntungamo Central Police station on Wednesday, March 13, 2024.
Charles, a resident of Kitojo Cell, Kitojo Parish, Bwongyera Sub County, Ntungamo District, is facing accusations of trespassing and malicious damage. It is alleged that on February 26, 2024, he forcefully entered the home of his elder biological brother, Tindyebwa George, and vandalized his property with stones. He also purportedly cut down his brother’s banana plantation.
Following the incident, Charles was arrested by the Bwongyera Police Post on February 27, 2024, and subsequently transferred to Ntungamo Central Police station on February 28. He was released on bond, with the bond initiated by their biological brother, Elias Rusambuza, who witnessed the altercation.
The reconciliation meeting, organized by the Ntungamo Central Police Station and mediated by Mr. Mbonigaba Denis, the Detective Assistant Inspector of Police, aimed to address the conflict. However, Charles declined to attend, despite reminders via phone call.
Inspector Mbonigaba Denis emphasized the importance of family meetings and the establishment of bylaws to address domestic disputes, attributing the rise in land disagreements to ignorance.
Residents expressed bewilderment at Charles’ refusal to engage with the police and expressed concern that he seemed to disavow his involvement in the matter, claiming he had died long ago.
In response, Tindyebwa George, the complainant, expressed his intention to pursue legal action, citing disobedience and hidden motives.
Pastor Sylivia Tindyebwa, the wife of the complainant, voiced her worries, alleging that Charles was targeting her. She disclosed that she had left her home out of fear and sought refuge elsewhere.
