The elite force’s publicist, Maj. Chris Magezi had refused to reveal the names of the three soldiers as their families needed to be contacted first.
A source said that by the time of his death at State house compound, Christopher was seeking shelter under a tree after a heavy Tuesday morning down pour.
The injured duo are also receiving treatment at the Forward Operating Location Kasenyi in Entebbe.
May his soul rest in peace.
