Death of URA staff a murder case, police say

Police have said they are treating the death of Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) employee John Baptist Ngorok as “murder” and that detectives have taken a Catholic priest into custody to help with the investigations.

Ngorok, 30, was a domestic revenue officer with the tax body and was allegedly stabbed multiple times in a Saturday night confrontation with Rev Fr Dominic Alinga.

There have been varying accounts on the likely motive of the tragic incident and how it unfolded on the Entebbe Airport Road section bordering the United Nations Regional Service Centre Entebbe.

Police Spokesman ACP Kituuma Rusoke told Monitor last evening that they are investigating a case of “murder” and that “there had at least been a breakthrough; that the particular person they (investigators) highly suspect was [involved was already] in police custody”.

He declined to discuss whether any witnesses or suspect had recorded a statement with police.
