9th March 2016 will forever remain a stained date in the calendar life of Milton Tumwesigye. What started as a normal day turned into a claustrophobic night for the Kabale University student. It is said that the plans of the devil are difficult to evade. Milton that fateful day paid his good old friend Felestino Tihaboose, a 22-year-old student of Bishop Barham University College, constituent college of the Uganda Christian University and a resident of Kigongi in Kabale Municipality a courtesy call at his place.
The night soon downed upon the pair prompting Milton to contemplate spending the night. Milton was shocked when his old friend woke him in the middle of the night whispering in a hoarse voice deep with desire. His hands were all over Milton’s body, caressing in attempt to turn him on. Milton, in a sleepy stupor soon realised what Felestino was up to, he gave in a fight but was easily overpowered and Felestino allegedly had his way with him.
He used the last energies within him to sound an alarm that attracted the attention of neighbours, who were shocked by the narration of his ordeal. Felestino, vehemently denied the accusation. He has been locked up and charged in courts of law with sodomy; something he denies.
The accused pleaded not guilty of the charges and the chief magistrate, Agatonica Ahimbisibwe Mbabazi remanded him to Ndorwa government prison for three weeks. He is expected to appear back in court for a hearing on 25th April 2016.
