Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74071, member: 636"] A tribunal in Mbarara just dropped compensation rulings for two families whose relatives got killed by cops over a decade ago, and the government's on the hook for 160 million shillings total. The first family scored 80 million after their son, a motorcycle taxi driver, caught three bullets from a sergeant who was spraying shots at a busy boda boda stand back in 2015. Chairperson Mariam Wangadya said the officer clearly knew someone would get hit, and he bounced right after. Most of that cash goes to the victim's two kids, with smaller chunks for his mom and widow. Another 80 million went to a woman whose husband died in a police cell in Sheema District after getting locked up over some dispute with a local chairman. Cops dropped his body off at the family's place with zero explanation. The tribunal tossed two other cases for not having enough proof, and they're still working through 19 more complaints this session. [/QUOTE]
