Fresh details have emerged about Simon Peter Otim who was shot dead on Thursday night at Sebina Zone- Kaleerwe, Mulago III Parish, Kawempe Division.
Mr. Otim was shot at around 8:30pm by two men who entered the sitting room where he was with his wife, daughter and a visitor.
Mr. Otim was shot twice in the chest and then severally stabbed as his wife, daughter and the visitor hid in the bedrooms screaming for help.
The killers also attempted to attack the wife Prossy Namutebi but she did not heed to their threats to open the bedroom door.
Fresh details show that the deceased was released in May after spending over 10 years in jail on conviction of aggravated robbery.
It is alleged that Otim who had returned from Iraq where he served as a security guard bought a mobile phone which had been robbed from a person who was allegedly killed and as a result, Otim was subsequently arrested, prosecuted, found guilty and sentenced to serve 20 years over aggravated robbery through court set him free on second appeal but he had already served a half of his jail term.
Mr. Patrick Onyango the Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson confirmed that Mr. Otim was an ex-convict who was released barely three months ago. END
