Chaos as Slain Ugandan MP's Body Arrives Home

Hundreds of mourners had to be dispersed at the home of MP Ibrahim Abiriga. The MP's body - and that of his brother Saidi Butele Buga - were hijacked from the funeral van by a group of youths who smashed car windows, burnt a motorcycle and injured some passers-by as they carried the caskets aloft.

Mourners carry the casket bearing the remains of Ibrahim Abiriga in Arua town.

Rowdy youth vandalised several chairs and tents at the slain MP's home.
