35 year-old killed over Shs2,000

Police in Mubende District are investigating circumstances under which a 35 year-old man died after a violent brawl with a colleague over Shs2,000 on April 23.

The deceased has been identified as Deo Semugabo, a resident at Nkolabaseka Village in Nabingoola Sub County in Mubende District.

Martin Okoyo, the Mubende District Police commander said preliminary investigations indicate that when Kagambe Yeyiro went to Semugabo’s home to demand for his Shs 2,000, the latter refused to pay the money which irritated Kabagambe who picked up a brick and hit him on the head. Semugabo died upon arrival at Mubende Regional Referral Hospital where neighbors had rushed him for treatment.
“That is the information we have got from eyewitnesses, but as police our investigations are still ongoing to establish the truth,” he said.

Okoyo added that Kabagambe is currently being detained at Mubende Police Station to assist police with investigations.
