Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Police have arrested a private security guard, who allegedly shot dead a Congolese national and his girlfriend, he was guarding at Bukasa, Makindye Division in Kampala City.<\/p>\n

The deceased have been identified as Siviwe Katembo, 33, and his girlfriend whose identity is yet to be known.<\/p>\n

The suspect has also been identified as Raphael Okwanga, a security guard attached to D-GAP.<\/p>\n

Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesman, Mr Luke Owoyesigyire, said the suspect is currently detained at Kabalagala Police Station, but his motive isn’t yet known.<\/p>\n

“It is alleged that the suspect got annoyed with the deceased before shooting them. We have recovered the gun and spent cartridges. We are holding him on murder offences,” he said.<\/p>\n

The bodies of the deceased persons have been conveyed to the Kampala Capital City Authority mortuary at Mulago for postmortem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe crime scene has been secured for further analysis. Some of the exhibits have been submitted for analysis at our Forensic Services laboratory,” Mr Owoyesigyire said.<\/p>\n

He said the case file will be submitted to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice after concluding preliminary investigations.<\/p>\n

Incidents of private security guards turning their guns to their bosses are common in Uganda.<\/p>\n

Police attribute such incidents to poor training of guards and payment.<\/p>\n
