Former police boss and blue eyed boy of former IGP, Nixon Agasirwe was Monday 16th, 2025 charged with the 2015 murder of senior prosecutor, Joan Kagezi.
Appearing before the
Nakawa Chief Magistrates Court, Nixon whose name is always surrounded with contraversies of lawlessness was
remanded until July 8, 2025.
Kagezi was gunned down on March 30, 2015 in Kiwatule, Kampala.
At the time of her murder, Kagezi was prosecuting high profile cases, including the 2010 Al-Shabaab bombings in Kampala.
During the court session, Chief Magistrate Esther Nyandoi did not allow Agasirwe to take plea since his crime is capital in nature, and only tried in the High Court.
A state prosecutor told reporters at the court that the arrest and trial of Agasirwe is a major breakthrough in the high profile murder that has not been resolved for over a decade.
“It’s been 10 solid years; we have had another breakthrough. We have arrested and charged one Nixon Agasirwe for the murder of Joan Kagezi. He’s been taken to court today, and the inquiries in this matter are still incomplete,” said the prosecutor.
Nixon Agasirwe was arrested weeks ago after one of the suspect in this murder case confessed to have participated in the crime under pre bargain which saw him sentenced to 35 years in jail. He told court that the murder was sponsored by Nixon.
