Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Katonga Region in Central Uganda are investigating circumstances under which a security guard attached to Saracen Security Company Limited was murdered in cold blood on Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Ismail Mugerwa, 46, was killed at around 4:30am by a suspected robber who raided his home at Bubezi Village in Mpigi Town Council in Mpigi District, to steal a StarTimes dish.<\/p>\n

Mugerwa\u2019s wife, Sharitah Kakande said they heard a person walking on the rooftop of their house, before her husband moved out to see what was happening.<\/p>\n

A few minutes later, Ms Kakande, who had remained inside the house heard a scuffle to which she swiftly responded and found her husband wrestling with a stranger.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe [Mugerwa] found a man trying to steal the dish .They engaged in a scuffle and the attacker who was brandishing a kitchen knife stabbed my husband twice in the chest and stomach,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said the assailant bit her left cheek and also injured the son as they tried to intervene to save her husband.<\/p>\n

This prompted the duo to make an alarm that attracted neighbours who intercepted the suspect and lynched him.<\/p>\n

Ms Kakande said her husband, who was bleeding profusely, was rushed to Double Hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival.<\/p>\n

Ms Lydia Tumushabe, the Katonga Regional Police spokesperson said police detectives have since recorded statements from Ms Kakande and other witnesses to establish what facts of the case.<\/p>\n

A man points at the StarTimes dish the suspected thief had allegedly targeted<\/p>\n

She identified the suspect as Bashir Ssekitoleko, a 42-year-old resident of Luzige-Kisenyi Village, Kampala City.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate that angry residents pounced on the suspect and killed him on spot. As police, we strongly condemn this and inquiries into that case continue,\u201dshe said<\/p>\n

Mugerwa\u2019s brother, Mr Yusuf Mulunzi, said he had been complaining of thieves and that two months ago, a solar panel and motorcycle were stolen from his home.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time he [Mugerwa] never wanted to lose his property and when he heard the thieves outside, he moved out, unfortunately he died in the process [of saving his property],\u201dhe said<\/p>\n

Mr Kathiano Owakubariho, the security manager at Mukwano Enterprises Ltd where Mugerwa was working said he (Mugerwa) left Kampala on Thursday to go and visit his family.<\/p>\n

“Since he [Mugerwa] was off duty, he requested to go and meet his family which was granted. Unfortunately today morning I received a call from his son who also works with us that the father had been killed by an intruder,” he said.He eulogized the deceased as a hardworking employee.<\/p>\n
