Police in Mayuge District have arrested a man who allegedly punched a colleague to death in a brawl over a waitress at Sober\u2019s Bar and Lodge in Kikubo village, Buwaya sub-county.<\/p>\n
The Busoga East Police spokesperson, Ms Diana Nandaula, identified the deceased as Edirisa Wabwire, a son of Mr Ali Wabwire of the same village.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got information that the suspect, who is being held at Mayuge Central Police Station, boxed Wabwire on the head and fell on the floor, resulting in his death,\u201d Ms Nandaula said on Tuesday, March 19, 2024.<\/p>\n
She added that police picked the body from the bar and took it to Mayuge Health Centre IV mortuary as investigations go on, but added that murder charges have since been preferred against the suspect.<\/p>\n
It has been established that the deceased and suspect are both Muslims who had stayed in the bar until around 2:30am.<\/p>\n
The deceased\u2019s father said he received the news of his son\u2019s death at around 4am on Tuesday, adding that he is stuck with the body because he lacks the money to fund the burial.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to appeal to the judiciary for fair judgment and to the government for financial help to enable my son to have a decent burial,\u201d Mr Wabwire said.<\/p>\n
Mr Twaha Ikoba, the bar owner, however, attributed the tragedy to drug abuse by both parties. \u201cThese people acted under the influence of drug abuse, because what I sell in the bar cannot make customers go wild to the extent of killing one another,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He noted that this was the first incident of its kind to happen for the over five years the bar has been operational.<\/p>\n
