At least one person has been confirmed to have died and several others injured in a deadly land dispute in Amolatar.
Jimmy Opio, 36, a resident of Barayom village, Angwingiri Sub County was on Tuesday attacked and beaten by members of his clan.
Samuel Abedi, the Amolatar District Police Commander said the group had for long been engaged in a land wrangle with the deceased whom they accused of grabbing their family land.
Abedi said that “A female suspect is in police custody and the hunt for seven other suspects is on.”
Police detectives from the homicide department recovered three spears and sticks with blood stains from the scene of crime.
Joseph Okello, 41, a resident of Barayom village said several attempts to resolve the dispute between the deceased and his relatives failed.
