(CD) A Muslim employer was reported to have hired hitmen to kill his Christian employee who refused to be converted to Islam.

The Christian Headlines said the incident happened in Africa's Uganda last month involving Ashirafu Kasenyi, who is also known as Kasenyi Jackson. Kasenyi was a transport company owner who employed Fred Isiko as a driver for a van. He called Isiko to meet him on May 22 for some tasks at work.

Isiko, a Christian evangelist, brought along his friend Francis Maka to meet Kasenyi, a former Christian who converted to Islam in 1992, the evening of that day. Maka witnessed how his friend was murdered and narrated this during an interview with Morning Star News.

"So I moved at a distance, and immediately one of them removed a long knife and cut his neck as I fled for my life and reported the incident at Kagumu police post," he added. "Police and hundreds of people converged around Isiko's body early the next morning."

Isiko's relative also revealed that there is a May 7 recorded conversation on Kasenyi threatening Isiko to be removed from his job if he refuses to convert to Islam. The conversation was said to have been recorded by Isiko secretly.
