(Mogadishu) 13 May 2019<\/strong><\/span> – The army is investigating the circumstances under which one of its soldiers deployed in Mogadishu, Somalia, shot his administration officer dead before killing himself.<\/p>\n

A source in Mogadishu earlier told this newspaper that the soldier who ran amok was irked by the supervisor, and that four soldiers in total died in the Saturday shooting incident.<\/p>\n

The UPDF spokesperson, Brig Richard Karemire, however, said only two soldiers perished and investigators are working to establish the motive of the errant soldier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe motive isn\u2019t yet known. We want to know whether he was insane or not,\u201d Brig Karemire said by telephone yesterday.<\/p>\n

The incident happened at the main base, which is the central nerve of African Union Mission in Somalia (Amisom), to which Uganda was the first and to-date still the largest troop contributor. The identities of deceased have not yet been released. Shootings among UPDF soldiers are uncommon when on mission outside the country or at home.<\/p>\n

In recent times, most shootings by soldiers have targeted civilians, with a number attributed to love-gone-bad incidents and property wrangle.<\/p>\n

However, in 2016, Sgt Isaac Obua shot dead seven of his colleagues inside Makindye Military Police Barracks in Kampala.<\/p>\n

Pte Isaac Newton Okello was in December 2018 convicted for killing a pregnant woman, her husband and son in Alebtong District and sentenced to 80 years imprisonment.<\/p>\n

In 2013, UPDF soldiers Sgt Robert Okiror attached to the 7th battalion in Kisoro District,shot dead his girlfriend and the maid following a domestic brawl.<\/p>\n

In 2013, UPDF Pte Patrick Odoch killed 11 people near Bombo UPDF headquarters over similar reasons. Pte Odoch was later sentenced to a 90-year jail term.<\/p>\n

In December, 2012, L\/Cpl Herbert Rwakihembo, attached to the Military Police, shot dead his fianc\u00e9e, Irene Namuyaba and two others at Luzira.<\/p>\n
