Police Constable Alex Adia, attached to the Counter Terrorism Tactical Unit, shot his ex-wife dead at Naguru Police Barracks.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigire, the incident occurred on Sunday at around 8 pm.
He explained that the deceased had separated from Alex Adia and was in a relationship with someone else.
“We have arrested Adi Alex, and he is detained at Jinja Road Police Station,” Owoyesigire said, revealing that they are investigating why the officer shot the woman.
In a separate shooting incident in Ntinda, an argument between two individuals escalated, resulting in one person being shot.
The suspect, Ekwaru Emmanuel, a security guard with Guarder World Security Group and resident of Banda, allegedly shot Almadri David, a 30-year-old worker from Village 14, Ntinda Parish, in the right hand.
Following a swift police response, the victim was rushed to Naguru China Hospital. “We recovered the gun and arrested the suspect,” Owoyesigire stated.
