Angry residents wanted to pounce on him and kill him as well but police arrived in time to save him from the wrath of the seething villagers.
A former Local Defence Unit (LDU) operative of Namataba zone, Kirinnya parish, Bweyogerere in Kira Town Council went berserk and cut the throat of his 3-year-old sibling, and turned the knife to his own throat and cut himself.
Geoffrey Ocheng, 27, later got out of the house profusely bleeding. Angry residents wanted to pounce on him and kill him as well but police arrived in time to save him from the wrath of the seething villagers.
Ali Samanya, one of the defence secretaries, arrived first at the scene and immediately raised an alarm on seeing the polythene bag in which Ocheng had stuffed the body of his brother. Police rushed Ocheng to hospital and took the body for post mortem examination.

Councillor Yusuf Mukasa suggested that if Ocheng recovers, he should be taken to a psychiatrist to establish the state of his mental stability.
And a resident identified as Cissy Wiibo said that on leaving the LDU, Ochieng got saved and even became a pastor and burned all fetishes associated with witchcraft, and that since then, he seems to have developed a deranged state of mind.
