The Police have launched an
investigation into the attempted murder of 21-year-old Ocen Felix, a watchman
at Hotel Alikin in Pader Town Council.
Jackson Bogere, the Pader District Police Commander (DPC), revealed that the
victim was discovered unconscious on Friday with a cloth tied around his neck and mouth and had injuries.
The police team, led by the DPC and
the Scenes of Crime Officer, visited the location and recovered a security uniform, torch, a broken arrow and bow, and two broken bottles.
A case of attempted murder has been
opened, and statements have been recorded from witnesses to aid the
investigation.
While no suspects have been apprehended, a sniffer dog led police to a house in Wee-Wii village, allegedly belonging to an individual
identified only as Okello.
Bogere says that Ocen is currently undergoing treatment at Numem Medical Centre.

Oyam District, had been employed at the hotel for only one month before the
incident.
