Police in Namayingo District are hunting for unknown thugs who shot dead the LC 3 chairman of Buyinja Sub County yesterday.
The deceased, David Tito Okware was shot dead at his home located in Namayingo town council last night by three men traveling on a numberless motorcycle. He was the publicity secretary for NRM party in Namayingo district.
According to a relative, the three attacked the home at around 9.30 p.m., while the family was having dinner, and asked for Okware who was seated on a plastic chair, among family members.
One of the thugs, dressed in an overall coat eventually pulled out a rifle and shot Okware four times in the stomach before riding off. Okware died moments later, the relative adds. No other family member was harmed during the attack.
Okware took over as sub county chairperson after his predecessor Stephen Dede abandoned it for a seat in parliament.
