Uganda's former army chief James Kazini was killed over a week ago at his girlfriend's flat in the capital, Kampala.He died of being hit on the head with an iron bar during a brawl. An army spokesman said at the time that he had been a victim of domestic violence. His girlfriend was arrested.
Some high ranking officials now confirm, on conditions of anonymity, that there may have been other motivations that lead to his death. They allege that Chief James Kazini was killed to conceal what they describe as, "evidience that would implicate President Museveni to the resources that were pocketed in the DRC".

Kazini was sacked as army chief in 2003 after UN accusations that he plundered resources in the Democratic Republic of Congo when leading operations there.
He was in charge of Ugandan troops who clashed with their Rwandan counterparts in the eastern Congolese town of Kisangani in 1999.
Last year he was found guilty of corruption - charges unconnected to the Congolese allegations.
He went to jail, but was out on bail and facing further charges of subversion at the time of his death.
