Upon being shot, the victim fell to the ground and cried out for help, asserting that she was not a thief. She specifically mentioned the name Bandishe Ashraf, one of the tenants residing in the suspect’s residence.
The caretaker of the residence along with other neighbors, responded to the scene. Subsequently, the police officer also came out from his house, Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesgyire said.
Nagayi had been in the company of her boyfriend, Ashraf Bandishe as they hung out together, police said.Ashraf had given her the key to enter the residence and rest while he remained behind.
However, she mistakenly attempted to open the officer’s room, which is opposite Ashraf’s room, leading to the unfortunate shooting incident, ASP Owoyesgyire added.
ASP Tebangole is currently in police custody while Nagayi is hospitalised at Kawolo General Hospital in Buikwe District.
A pistol with 12 rounds of live ammunition was recovered from the policeman who shot the victim by the response Police team. The victim’s boyfriend told the reporters that it was Nagayi’s first time accessing his rental apartments.
The boyfriend said that his girlfriend was going to his apartment for the first time after she stayed out for long beyond the recommended university time. She resides in a university hall which is closed by midnight so she requested my house keys to go and rest since I was still drinking. I directed her and the boda boda guy to the purple apartments but they went to a wrong place.
