Officials reported rotting corpses and sealed files littered the premises while Amin reportedly fled toward eastern Uganda. Survivors recalled brutal interrogations and mass killings during Amin's eight-year rule as authorities pledged to restore law and begin trials.

Astles dies remembered as Amin’s feared enforcer in Uganda

Kampala reports indicate Major Bob Astles, once Amin’s powerful spokesman, has died. A government spokesman confirmed the body found near the International Conference Center awaiting positive ID, with no details on death. Astles, 56, rose from British seaman to Uganda’s second most powerful figure, surviving multiple regimes and earning a notorious reputation for killings and royal shows during Amin’s rule.
