MBARARA – The Police in Kiruhura district have mounted a manhunt for Didas Kiiza – a guard attached to New Uganda Securico Company Limited – who disappeared after allegedly shooting a man to death over a woman.
Kizza is wanted for shooting one Abel on the forehead at EBBO SACCO Limited Kinoni branch in Kinoni trading Centre on Wednesday.

Kasasira said police had recovered the two rifles registration numbers- SAR UG.POL 92221108090 and UG.POL.FH 68536-108385 – revealing further that preliminary findings indicated that the incident was the climax of a fight between the suspect and the deceased over a woman that occurred on January 25, 2023 at a bar.
