Unidentified thugs killed the director of Armoret High School in Njeru town in Mukono district and dumped his body outside the school gate. Armstrong Matovu, 52, is suspected to have been strangled at about 10:30pm on Monday. Jinja Police crime chief Fred Eriku said the deceased left his home in the school compound at around 10:00pm to go and silence students who were making noise during prep time. Moments later, Matovu moved out of the school compound and locked the gate behind him. He was not seen again until the following morning when the body was found outside.
