Security Guard Kills Two Suspected Armed Robbers 

Detectives from KMP have commenced investigations into the death of two suspected robbers killed by a security guard in self defense. The incident approximately happened at 07:50am on 5th December 2023, within the jurisdiction of Kira Road Division, KMP East. 

The deceased have been identified as Okema Patrick, 34 years old from Kitgum, and Sekiwiro Dennis, 38 years old from Dokolo. The suspected shooter is Oringo Bosco, a 27-year-old private security guard working with Daron Security Company and resident of Mbuya, Kampala District.

According to Ocan Morris, a 53-year-old private security officer employed by Inken Distributors Limited, and resident of Bukoto, old Kira road, Nakawa Division, Kampala District. 

Oringo Bosco, on duty at Betimo Inken offices along Old Kira road, claimed to have encountered three intruders around midnight. He asserted that, while on the wall fence, he observed two individuals attempting to break into the office. Allegedly, one of the intruders was armed, prompting Bosco to open fire in self-defense, resulting in the unfortunate demise of Patrick and Dennis.

The crime scene was meticulously examined by a team comprising homicide, SOCO (Scene of Crime Officer), crime intelligence, and uniformed officers. A comprehensive case file was initiated to facilitate a thorough investigation.

"Various exhibits have been recovered, including a well-sharpened iron bar capable of breaking doors, the weapon used in the shooting, an axe saw blade head, and identification cards belonging to the deceased individuals. Fingerprints were lifted from the damaged door, and the bodies have been conveyed to the City mortuary pending postmortem examinations," ASP Luke Owoyesigyire Deputy Public Relations officer for Kampala Metropolitan Police said.
