A police Officer at Kapujani Police Station in Katakwi district, Uganda shot dead three people, including his girlfriend and the Officer In charge of the station before drowning himself in a river.
Deputy Police Spokesperson Patrick Onyango said the incident happened on Tuesday at the Kapujani Anti-stock Theft Detach.
Onyango reveals that the incident occurred when Police Constable Alfred Otto Omara was summoned to the Detach following a misunderstanding with his girlfriend, Esther Anyaiti at around 6pm.
“He (Otto) was summoned by the OC Lillian Nanduttu to resolve their issues with the girlfriend Anyaiti who had reported him after a misunderstanding. In the middle of the meeting Otto lost his temper and shot the OC, his girlfriend, another police officer Julius Eremu and an unidentified person was injured on the leg.” said DSP Onyango.
After the shooting, Otto fled the scene with his gun. His body was recovered on Wednesday morning in River Bisina, where he is alleged to have drowned himself.
“Our divers are on water trying to trace his gun,” Onyango disclosed.
The four bodies are currently at Katakwi Hospital for postmortem.
