According to Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson; Emilian Kayima, Pte. Rogers Kasigazi and Pte. Shaban Musinguzi fled after beating dead a one Rogers Waisa Tuesday this week.

“The 2 soldiers beat Waisa after accusing him of theft of a bag of cement from a construction site they were guarding,” Kayima said.

“They then brought him to Mutungo Police Post, but were advised to first take him to hospital because he was in bad condition.”

The police mouthpiece said the suspects, however, abandoned Waiswa before reaching the hospital and he was recovered dead.

The body was, after recovery, taken to Mulago hospital for a postmortem report.

“The sticks used to beat him have been recovered at the construction site and kept as exhibits while the hunt for the 2 soldiers has started,” said Kayima.

Kayima also revealed that one Joel Akonyero who had escorted the 2 soldiers has been arrested to assist in investigations.
