On Thursday, a Tata lorry carrying products for distribution was stopped by two unidentified gunmen along its route in Kalagi and nearby areas. The assailants shot and injured the driver, Azadi Bizzale, and stole about sh23m before the truck lost control and rolled into a trench. Bizzale was transported to St Joseph Medical Centre in Mukono before being referred to St Francis Medical Centre and later to Mulago Hospital, where he died. Police have detained a sales executive and three loaders to assist with investigations, while the lorry was towed away. This was the second time that the same group of people had been robbed in less than two months, despite earlier police guidance that they should have armed escorts when moving with large sums of money.
