Allan Kakumba, a youth councillor, died from stab wounds after intervening in a fight involving his brother, with police confirming in a statement that the suspects will be arraigned in court soon.

A Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesman said that Mr Kakumba, 25, had stepped in after his brother, an Arsenal fan, fought with two City supporters. He died after being admitted to hospital the following morning, local newspaper the Daily Monitor said.
