Ugandan journalist Paul Kiggundu was beaten to death by a gang of motorcycle taxi drivers because he filmed them demolishing the house of another driver, who they considered guilty of murder.
They accused Kiggundu, who worked for a Christian TV station, TOP (Tower of Praise), of spying for the police.
Three days later, on 13 September, another Ugandan journalist, Dickson Ssentongo, was battered to death with metal bars by unknown assailants.
The 29-year-old news anchor with Prime Radio in Luganda, was also involved in local opposition politics.
