Socialite Brian Kirumira, popularly known as Bryan White is appearing at Makindye Magistrate’s Court for allegedly shooting his neighbour.
White has been in police custody since December 13 when he was arrested on allegations of shooting Victor Bitwire.
He had been transferred from Kabalagala police division in Kampala to Nalufenya, a high profile police detention facility in Jinja District on orders of the Inspector General of Police, Gen Kale Kayihura after he reportedly received information that the gun White used to shoot Bitwire was not registered by any security agencies in Uganda.
