A 36-year-old man in Kagadi district has succumbed to injuries he allegedly sustained in a fight over Shillings 1,000 while playing cards. The deceased is\u00a0Marsel Ategeka, a resident of Number Munana village in Bwikara sub-county.<\/p>\n
He was reportedly assaulted with\u00a0a big stick on the head by Christopher Kusemererwa, a resident of the same area while playing cards at around 10pm on Monday. It is alleged that\u00a0Kusemererwa picked a quarrel with the deceased after demanding the Shillings 1,000 after winning a match of cards.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that\u00a0the deceased declined to give him the money prompting Kusemererwa to pick a stick and hit the deceased on the head leaving him unconscious.<\/p>\n
Gorret Nyangoma, a neighbor to the deceased, says that Ategeka died as he was being rushed to Kagadi general hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n
Tom Twinomujuni, another resident, says it is unfortunate that Ategeka lost his life recklessly and called on the authorities to regulate the high rate of gambling in the area.<\/p>\n
He wants police to expedite investigations to ensure that the culprit is apprehended and charged in courts of law.<\/p>\n
Julius Hakiza, the Albertine region police spokesperson, says that the suspect is still at large.<\/p>\n
According to Hakiza, police picked up the deceased\u2019s body which was later conveyed to Kagadi general hospital mortuary for postmortem.<\/p>\n
Hakiza has appealed to members of the public to cooperate with the police by providing vital information that could lead to the arrest of the suspect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
