Three Uganda People's Defence Forces [UPDF] soldiers were executed by firing squad in Kitgum, northern Uganda, for murder.
They were sentenced to death by a field court martial under the chairmanship of Fifth Division commander, Col. John Mugume. Private Richard Wigiri was executed by firing squad in Kitgum Matidi Township, near Kitgum in northern Uganda, after a military court found him guilty of the murder of Monica Achiro, a civilian, in December 2003.
Privates Antony Oketch and Kombatcho were executed by firing squad later the same day after a military court near Kitgum found them guilty of killing Charles Labeja, Patrick Olum and Peter Ayela on January 4 2003. Reports suggest at least 200 members of the public witnessed the executions.
Col. Mugume warned other soldiers with intentions of taking the law in their own hands that they risk facing a similar fate.
