Security has been tightened in Najjera in Kira Municipality, Wakiso District after suspected thugs raided one of the homes in the area and stabbed Arch Lwego, 44 to death.
Lwego is husband to Ms Dorah Asio, 40, who is said to be AIGP Grace Akullo’s young sister. The victim was stabbed 10 times as he tried to fight the goons that attacked their home at 3am.
CID spokesman, SP Vincent Ssekate, confirmed the attack but said he was not aware of whether the victim was a relative to his boss, AIGP Akullo.
“The thugs attacked the home during the rain. They stabbed the dog, broke the behind door and opened the bedroom using keys left in the door. They had knives and iron bars,” Mr Ssekate said.
Lwego was stabbed seven times in the head, twice on the left shoulder and once in the chest, according to the CID spokesperson.
Police said the victim collapsed and the attackers picked unspecified amounts of money and a TV from the house.
“The victim died as he was being rushed to Najjera Hospital. Our investigations indicate that the guard had left for Nebbi District on Monday. We are investigating whether the guard had already reached Nebbi or not,” Ssekate said.
