Maj. Felix Kulayigye, the Army and Defence spokesman said out of the 34 UPDF Military Court Martial cases concluded in 2006, 3 soldiers - Pte. Abubakar Mugwanate, L/Cpl. Moses Omarara and Pte. Richard Wofli, all convicted of murder, were sentenced to death.
The three are attached to 73rd battalion, Golf battalion and 87th battalion respectively. The records, however, did not show where or when they committed the murders. "As part of the observance of the rule of law, we have adopted zero tolerance of crime of any nature," he said.
