Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>A man has died at Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala where he was reportedly rushed after he was shot on Tuesday night in what police have described as a foiled arson attack at Masanafu police post in Kampala.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is alleged that our officers were manning the station for the night shift when they noticed a man approaching with a two-litre water bottle containing an unknown substance,\u201d Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson, ASP Luke Owoyesigyire said.<\/p>\n

According to him, one of the officers at the post asked the man what was contained in the bottle and what had taken him to the police post \u201cbut he responded by pouring the substance [on himself] and setting a fire.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, [he] got burnt in the process, and started running towards the officers, prompting one of them to shoot at him. The fire was later put out and the man was rushed to Mulago Hospital for treatment,\u201d ASP Owoyesgyire added.<\/p>\n

The man who has since been identified as Charles Bazil Kintu- going by the photocopy of the national identity card recovered from him- succumbed to injuries he sustained at Masanafu police post, according to police.<\/p>\n

\u201cA team of investigation officers arrived at the scene and picked up the two-litre bottle which has been exhibited for analysis to ascertain the contents. The team also picked a matchbox he used to start the fire. Investigations into the matter have commenced to establish the attacker\u2019s motive and whether he is part of the gang that has been attacking Police stations or not,\u201d added ASP Owoyesgyire.<\/p>\n

He said a photocopy of the national ID and a phone recovered from the deceased will aid in the ongoing investigations.<\/p>\n
