Pastor, Family Killed in Uganda Following Muslim Conversions
In Eastern Uganda, an Islamist mob killed Pastor Weere Mukisa, his wife Annet Namugaya, and their two young daughters, Judith, 7, and Sylvia, 4, by setting their home on fire after the pastor converted three Muslims to Christianity.
The attack occurred at around 3 a.m. on Oct. 13 in Kibale village, Namutumba District, according to his brother, James Tusubira. Pastor Mukisa, 30, had received threats since the conversions in September.
Tusubira reported seeing flames from the house and, upon reaching the site, found it destroyed with plastic petrol bottles nearby. Police are pursuing the attackers, who are from a nearby village and were known to the pastor. The brutal incident has left the community in shock, with Tusubira calling for prayers and justice.
