Christian evangelist killed in Uganda.
An evangelist was slain and a mother and her 10-year-old daughter suffered serious burns for their faith in separate incidents last month in eastern Uganda.
In Busei B village, Nakalama Sub-County in Iganga District, sources said Ronald Twinomugisha had received threats by text message from Muslims before he was hacked to death on March 30. He was 32.
Twinomugisha moved to the area from western Uganda in February 2022, and by the end of 2023 he had led four Muslims to Christ, a source said. The four former Muslims had relocated elsewhere due to threats from their families.
"In March 2023, Twinomugisha came to my office and reported threatening messages from Muslims," area chairperson Gozan Waiswa told Morning Star News. "Their complaint was him changing Muslims to Christianity."
At about 7 p.m., neighbours saw men in Islamic attire entering Twinomugisha's home, an area source said.
"At around 8 p.m. I heard an alarm and a call for help then followed by a loud bang like that of splitting firewood," said the source, whose identify is withheld for security purposes. "It was a loud wailing saying, 'Please don't kill me! Please don't kill me! I am working for Jesus Christ! Please, Jesus is the one who sent me!' I feared to come out of my house, but shortly the voice stopped." CT.
