Uganda international Abdu Owori, 27, killed in robbery

Abdu Owori, a Uganda international, died at 27 after being attacked by suspected robbers. Police say the suspects confronted him and tried to steal his belongings. When he resisted, they beat him with blunt objects and killed him.

Uganda's police are treating the killing as a homicide investigation. Suspects have been identified and the inquiry is ongoing.

Details about Owori's domestic clubs and career statistics are limited.

Athletes across East Africa face street crime, and Owori's death adds to a list of Ugandan sportsmen killed by violence. He will be remembered at matches and training grounds in coming days.
