In a shocking turn of events, Catholic Priest Fr. Dominic Alinga has been arrested for the stabbing of a Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) worker, John Bosco.
The incident occurred after Bosco requested repayment of a loan amounting to 11 million Ugandan Shillings.
The Incident Unfolds
An Audio message circulating on various WhatsApp groups reveal that Fr. Dominic, who was a friend of John Bosco, arranged to meet him to finalize some transactions.
It is reported that Fr. Dominic visited Bosco’s home and suggested they travel to Entebbe.
As they neared the UN Base in Entebbe, Fr. Dominic allegedly pulled out a sharp machete and attacked Bosco.
The injuries proved fatal, and Bosco was pronounced dead at Entebbe Grade B hospital due to severe knife wounds.
The Aftermath and Community Response
An audio message on WhatsApp describes the deep sorrow within the community.
“Comrades, Kampala Metro, good afternoon. Yesterday was a dark day for us as a family. Our colleague, a diligent and punctual man, is no more,” it began.
Details of the incident remain scanty, but preliminary investigations indicate that Bosco had lent a significant amount of money to Fr. Dominic.
When Bosco demanded repayment, the priest resorted to violence, leading to the tragic event.
The statement continued, describing how Bosco drove Fr. Dominic to Entebbe, where the attack occurred.
Despite Bosco’s efforts to defend himself, he was severely injured.
A passing boda boda rider attempted to help by taking Bosco to the hospital, but Fr. Dominic, driving Bosco’s car, knocked them down in a further attempt to escape.
Final Moments and Community Efforts
Before succumbing to his injuries, Bosco managed to call his mother, informing her of the attack.
His last words to her were a desperate plea for help. The community has rallied to support Bosco’s family, with many members actively involved in the aftermath.
Bosco’s body was transferred to the A-plus home, and arrangements for his burial have been made.
A mass is scheduled for 8 a.m. to honour him, with a large attendance expected as a testament to his impact on the community.
Arrest and Investigation
Fr. Dominic was on the run following the incident but has since been apprehended.
He is being transported to Kampala for further legal proceedings.
The URA fraternity remains united in their grief, with members from Block L and others offering support to Bosco’s family.
The tragic death of John Bosco has left a profound impact on his URA fraternity.
The sorrow and solidarity among friends and colleagues highlight the deep loss felt by all who knew him.
