UPDF officer murdered in a Kampala bar brawl

By Drone Staff 

The Katwe Police are investigating the double murder of  a Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF) officer known as Mubangizi Moses and a private security guard  known as Otim Huron.

This ugly incident occurred on February 4th, 2023, at around 11 PM in a bar, where Otim picked a fight with UPDF officers at a bar and went back to his place to retrieve his gun.

Mubangizi reportedly fought Otim and disarmed him, and thereafter gave the gun to another security guard, Wana Simon.

Otim reportedly attacked Wana, overpowered him and took the gun back. He returned to the bar where he shot and killed Mubangizi. The mob then beat Otim to death. The police responded to the scene and recovered one gun and one bullet, but the magazine is missing.

The bodies were taken to KCCA city mortuary for postmortem, and Wana has been arrested and is being held at Katwe police division for further investigations. The public is asked to inform the police promptly of any incidents involving private security guards.
