Two police officers in Uganda’s Eastern region were on Thursday hacked to death by an angry mob in Kapkworos Sub County, Bukwo District.
The incident happened as a team of police officers had gone to arrest a defilement suspect, when residents started fighting them on arrival.
As a result, two police officers were killed which in turn forced their colleagues to fire bullets at the already rowdy crowd, where two civilians were also shot.
The Police Spokesperson, Mr Fred Chesang confirmed the incident, saying they have launched investigations into the matter.
“There were a case of defilement reported at Bukwo Central Police Station and five police officers were assigned for duty to go and arrest the suspect. They, however, found resistance from the community as they were arresting the suspect,” Mr Chesang said.
