The Elgon Region UPDF Spokesperson, Mr Jude Wandera said they have transferred the suspect from Kween Central Police Station to Moroto to face murder charges as investigations continue.

Alfred Mwanga, 46, a resident of Kapkwata Village, Kapkwata Sub County was allegedly shot dead on May 10 by LDU personnel deployed to enforce curfew.

The Kween Resident District Commissioner, Mr Denis Balwaniregha Ephraim blamed the shooting on poor leadership by the LDU commanders.

Mr Ben Kiplangat, a brother to the deceased, refuted police claims that Mwanga attempted to hack the LDU personnel.

The Kwanyi Sub County LCIII chairperson, Mr Henry Toni, said they were 19 LDU recruits on patrol on that day.
