Armed robbers shot dead a man who attempted to block them from stealing his sister's Shs16m at a mobile money shop in Kevina Zone in Nsambya, a Kampala suburb on Thursday night.
The police identified the deceased as Aaron Owmungu, a brother to Ruth Ninsiima, a mobile money agent. Police said he was shot in the chest and died on the spot at around 8pm. The robbers then jumped onto a boda boda motorcycle and sped off.
Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman Patrick Onyango confirmed the incident, saying the thugs were armed with a sub-machine gun.
"One of the criminals has been identified. We are pursuing them and hopefully we shall apprehend them," Mr Onyango said yesterday.
According to police, Ms Ninsiima picked Shs16m from a shop around Container Village on Nakivubo Place Road. She put the money in her bag but the thugs trailed her up to her shop in Nsambya.
The thugs rushed into the shop and grabbed the bag and when her brother attempted to stop them, they shot him dead.
