Ugandan Footballer David Owori Beaten to Death in Kampala, Second National-Team Athlete Killed in Weeks

Ugandan footballer David Owori, 27, captain of SC Villa and a Uganda international, died after suspected robbers beat him with paving stones outside his home in Kampala's Makindye suburb. Uganda's Parliament observed a minute of silence. His killing follows the fatal mob attack on rugby international Sydney Gongodyo in Kampala weeks earlier, intensifying concern about athlete safety in the capital.
