A Special Forces Command Officer gunned down his girlfriend and consequently turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger.
Samson Kasasira, the Rwiza Regional police spokesperson confirmed that the incident happened yesterday in Rugaga Trading Center, Kikatsi sun county in Kiruhura district.
According to Kasasira, Private Dickens Nuwamanya, 27, was a soldier attached to SFC Commando Brigade in Ruhegyere. Authorities confirmed him as the shooter of his girlfriend Kamarembo Patience.
She apparently operated a bar in the Rugaga trading center and the gunshots killed her instantly.
An eye witness said Nuwamanya shot Kamarembo three times in the chest and later shot himself too.
Authorities are yet to establish the reason behind the double murder but investigations into the matter are ongoing.
