IRATE residents of Nakiruuli in Kiboga district over the weekend chopped to death 30 cows and 20 goats belonging to Isma Kanobana, in revenge for the death of Harriet Namagambe.
Namagambe was last Wednesday shot dead by soldiers deployed to protect a team surveying kanobana's two-square mile land in Nakiruuli.
The land is at the centre of a dispute between kanobana and tenants.
The tenants refused to be evicted, saying the land belongs to Buganda.
Kanobana took surveyors to demarcate the land so that he could evict the tenants and sell one square mile to Lt. Col. Kasumba of the President's Office.
The rampaging residents also smashed three houses belonging to relatives of Kanobana, injuring Rwego, a close relative of Kanobana.
They vowed to evict Kanobana's relatives, claiming they were foreigners.

The district Police chief, Charles Bidemu, said they had deployed policemen to calm the situation.
Bidemu said the Police was looking for Cpl. Junior Songoro, one of the three soldiers suspected to have killed Namagambe.
