00:07:38O Warry has been killed near his home in Kampala, a police...
00:07:42said a worry was fatally assaulted after resist team the
00:07:45cranes, his club scvs said a statement, we have
00:07:49lost more than a player, we've lost a leader, brother and
00:07:53friend,
00:07:57well here's as far as we go to Uganda, let's head to Saras
00:08:01Sambati, the Kenyan journalist joining us from Nairobi,
00:08:04Kenya, um, Sarah, thank you for joining us on the program today
00:08:08and for you being willing to talk about what's going on in Uganda. I'm sure
00:08:12the news like this is traveled even faster than ever as far as
00:08:16Nairobi where you are, what are authorities really saying happened
00:08:20to David? well, thank you for having the
00:08:23show, authorities are saying that the players you putting very clearly
00:08:27was working home when he was confronted by arm tags, tags were
00:08:31harm by with the good weapons including the stones that he
00:08:35used they used to hitting, there was a resistance between him
00:08:38and so in the process the hitting with the...
00:08:42and they fell fell down, they grabbed mobile phone, he had some
00:08:46valuables before escaping, i think it took time for
00:08:50for him to be taken to the hospital that is now led with
00:08:54death because he died the following death on wednesday, it was yesterday
00:08:58and the news about his death spread so fast because
00:09:02what as you said he was known player, he had he had been playing
00:09:06even in Europe before he came back to to Uganda where he was
00:09:10playing for the the local premier
00:09:12league champion, so his death has
00:09:16really spread so far, not only in Uganda, even here in Kenya,
00:09:20everyone
00:09:20is discussing about the issue about the crime itself,
00:09:24indeed, and reports say that this draws attention to the violent
00:09:28crime in Uganda, authorities looking for suspects at this time in
00:09:32connection with this incident?
00:09:35yeah, police authorities in Uganda have said that there are good leads that they are following
00:09:39about the crime or the attackers, so it's a matter of... before they
00:09:43arrested, remember Uganda has very good uh kind of policing
00:09:46system the way that it will be matter of time for them to be able to
00:09:50arrest those who are behind the attack, the police
00:09:54spokesman we talked to, we had in talk today say that the
00:09:58are detectives on the ground who are pursuing the lead that can lead
00:10:01to the arrest these people are behind
00:10:03the the killing of
00:10:04mr award right uh cyrus we've
00:10:08heard from david's club scv what about his fan
00:10:12family um still waiting on them for you to understand a little
00:10:16bit more about who he was and the kind of person he
00:10:20was, what sort of character he he portray to his family for life
00:10:24that was... so young, yeah,
00:10:28because he was a bread for the family, you can imagine
00:10:32that being in Ugander, and this is a man was playing away, he used to
00:10:36earn good money where he was, he was dependent, the man was
00:10:39dependent by the family, the only thing they are demanding is justice, they want to
00:10:43ensure that those behind the attack, the fl attack of the
00:10:47arrested, so they are just b out and not
00:10:51in terms that they are not agreeing that this man is no longer the... for
00:10:55them to be singing or whatever right, and while
00:10:59there are crimes committed everywhere in the world uh, we really
00:11:03can't say you what's happening Uganda does not happen anywhere else, how
00:11:07would David's death impact on perhaps public
00:11:10accountability to doing something when people see crimes like this being
00:11:14committed, because there were ey witnesses who did see him being
00:11:17attacked, and and it seems like the bystander
00:11:20effect took over and nobody did anything about it until you...
00:11:25the attackers left and he was rushed to
00:11:28hospital, actually that's an issue everyone
00:11:32is facing, not only in compala even other urban areas, people whenever
00:11:36you are attacked by args, by standard just look at you as you
00:11:39struggle to fight back, now it comes out back to the
00:11:43individual people that whenever you see a colleague or friend and non
00:11:47person being attack and is crying for help, try to help as much as you
00:11:51can, that's being accounted to that because right now i believe
00:11:59It's an issue that needs to be debated by not only kampala but
00:12:03another urban area where they facing
