At least 52 bodies Rwenzururu royal guards who were killed during the November 2016 attack on Omusinga Charles Wesley Mumbere's palace are yet to be claimed, almost a year after they were buried in a military barracks. 

More than 100 people are believed to have died when the Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) under the command of the then Second Division Commander, Major General Peter Elwelu, raided Rwenzururu kingdom palace in Kasese town.

The attack carried out on November 26 and 27 came after the Rwenzururu king refused to hand over the guards whom the army accused of engaging in clandestine activities.
