Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Masaka City are searching for a private security guard who shot a fuel pump attendant dead at Bam filling station and made off with an unspecified amount of money.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred at 4am at Nakayiba on the outskirts of Masaka City.<\/p>\n

According to eyewitnesses, the suspect attached to Tiger Security Company identified as Ambrose Tumusiime allegedly shot Erias Kakooza, 20, in the throat.<\/p>\n

Gerald Ssemaganda, a close friend to the deceased said: \u201cIt is not yet clear what prompted the guard to kill Kakooza. I was with him at around 10pm last night and later left him at the pump.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the shooting, Ssemaganda said, Tumusiime made away with an unspecified amount of money which the victim had.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always been coming to check on Kakooza but the way that security guard has been behaving is inhuman. He always pressurizes people to give him money when he has done anything,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

Mr Julius Ssemanda told this publication that his brother Kakooza was still pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree in education at Muteesa 1 Royal University main campus in Masaka.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter realizing that our father had no money to support his education, he decided to come to Masaka and look for a job,\u201d Mr Ssemanda added.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy son has been the bread winner of my family. His sudden demise is indeed a big blow to the family,\u201d said Mr George Kakulu who was the father to the deceased.<\/p>\n

Southern Police spokesperson Muhammad Nsubuga confirmed the incident saying investigations into the matter have started.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already have the killer gun and are still hunting for the suspect. We suspect him to be in his home district of Mbarara,\u201d Mr Nsubuga said.<\/p>\n
