The Defense deputy Spokesperson Col Deo Akiki said, “Today early morning at about 7:20am a UPDF soldier attached to Military Police Cpl Andebo Collins shot and fatally injured his wife Aturinda Pellone. Cpl Andebo was deployed to guard Hon Kibuule where he left his position early to commit the murder by shooting.
