The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has taken over investigations of two people killed during a robbery of 4.5kgs of gold at Nakasozi-Buddo on Masaka Road two weeks ago.
Police spokesperson Rusoke Kituuma confirmed that the police have handed over the case file to the army.
“We came to an understanding with the army for them to take over the case since it involved security personnel. We have also handed over the two suspects, who were in our custody to them,” Assistant Commissioner of Police Kituuma said yesterday.
Brig Gen Felix Kulayigye, the Director of Defence Public Information in Uganda, said the case was handed over because the deceased was a UPDF deserter while the personnel involved in the shooting is their soldier.
“It was handed over to us two days ago,” Brig Gen Kulayigye said.
