Deputy Resident District Commissioner – Mayuge, District Community Liaisons Officer, in charge Magamaga, Police Station and some army officers were in attendance.
The meeting, a local resident who preferred anonymity was convened after an accusation that Stephen Isiko, a local resident and local waragi distiller on October 10, 2019 killed his worker identified as Gerald Bamwise and his body dumped in a crude trench.
Five people had earlier been arrested in connection to the killing.
Locals claimed those arrested are innocent and thus, showed their grievances by throwing stones.
