Aine makes U-turn in court
CRIME COURT PROCEEDINGS
In a twist of events, Christopher Aine, the former aide to ex-prime minister Amama Mbabazi has changed his plea on charges of obstructing traffic Police officers from carrying out their statutory duty and denied the offence.
Aine had pleaded guilty, together with one of his co-accused, Daniel Byansi, who has also denied the charges.
However, on Monday he changed his statement, saying he did not understand the charges before.
After changing his position, Buganda Road Court's Senior Grade One Magistrate Stella Amabilis declined to hear his bail application.

Police probe source of Aine-like photo
The Police have launched investigations into the source of a picture of a body resembling presidential candidate Amama Mbabazi's head of private guards, Christopher Aine, which went viral on social media on Thursday.
Aine went missing after the December 13, 2015 scuffle in Ntungamo, where Mbabazi's supporters allegedly beat up a rival group of the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party supporters.
The Police chief, Gen. Kale Kayihura, said Aine was a wanted man and put a sh20m bounty for his arrest.

Yesterday, social media was awash with a picture of a body alleged to be of Aine's that appeared in a local tabloid allegedly taken from Mula
