Luyinda attempted to proceed to Luwero at around 10 am before an officer stabbed him with a bayonet.

Authorities then rushed Luyinda to Bugema Health Centre with severe injuries. However, upon their arrival at the health centre, the doctors immediately pronounced him dead.

The Savannah Regional police spokesperson, Isah Ssemwogerere said he did not have details about the said incident.
