Kabuye told detectives investigating the incident that he had been receiving d£ath thr£@ts, according to a statement issued by police spokesperson Patrick Onyango.

“According to Mr Kabuye, two unidentified individuals on a motorcycle, wearing helmets, approached him. The passenger jumped off and att@cked him, specifically targeting his neck with a knife,” Onyango said.

“Kabuye managed to shield his neck with his right arm, resulting in a st+b wound to his hand. Despite attempting to flee, the assailants chased and st+bbed him in the stomach and left him for d£ad,” he said, adding that local residents had found him and taken him to a medical clinic.

Human rights defenders have been warning about the risk of att@cks on members of the LGBTQ+ community after Uganda last year adopted what is considered one of the harshest anti-gay laws in the world. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
