In the early 1970s, erratic Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, who liked to have political prisoners hammer each other to death, reportedly appointed former Prime Minister Benedicto Kiwanuka as the African country's chief justice.
But after a falling-out between the two men over Amin's alleged disregard for the rule of law, Kiwanuka was arrested and killed in September 1972, according to Uganda's government-run New Vision newspaper.
