Police at Old Kampala are investigating an incident of attempted arson (burning property) at the Masanafu police post.

The incident happened on Tuesday at about 11:50 p.m.

“It is alleged that our officers were manning the station for the night shift when they noticed a man approaching with a 2-litre water bottle containing an unknown substance.

One of the officers then asked the man what was in the bottle and what had brought him to the Police station but he responded by pouring the substance and setting a fire,” said Kampala Metropolitan Deputy spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire.

Owoyesigyire said that the man got burnt in the process, and started running towards the officers, prompting one of them to shoot at him.

“The fire was later put out and the man was rushed to Mulago Hospital for treatment,” he said.

According to the police, the man succumbed to the injuries he sustained at Masanafu Police station.

“A team of investigation officers arrived at the scene and picked up the 2-liter bottle and exhibited it for analysis to ascertain the contents. The team also picked a matchbox he used to start the fire,” he said.

A photocopy of a national ID in the name of Kintu Charles Bazil was also recovered from him, and a phone.
