As the country is in the wake of murders by shooting, another security guard has been arrested and detained at Tororo Central Police station for allegedly killing his colleague with a gun.
Moses Kedi, a guard attached to Saracen Uganda Limited, was arrested this morning near the home of the quarry manager Tororo Cement in the senior quarter’s cell, east division, Tooro municipality where he and his colleague were guarding before the incident occurred.
According to Tororo district police commander, Adams Kimuli, preliminary investigations revealed that Kedi used a pump action rifle gun to shoot his colleague, identified as John Okudi at around 8 am killing him instantly.
“The suspect Kedi has now been arrested together with one person who allegedly witnessed the fight,” he noted.
Claire Apota, a neighbour to the guards, narrated that she heard a quarrel between the two, and a gunshot minutes later.
She added that by the time neighbours responded to the shooting, the other guard had breathed his last, hence intercepting Kedi and handing him over to the Police.
Speaking to Charmar News, Kevin Mwambu, the assistant manage Saracen Tororo branch manager, said that the gruesome murder occurred just hours after the guards’ briefing, in which they were cautioned against the misuse of the guns.
