The body of the slain businessman has been taken to Jinja regional referral hospital mortuary for postmortem.
“We were seated on the veranda when Shaban arrived. However, two men riding a motorcycle called his name and on looking back, they shot him in the chest before speeding off,” a family member says.
It is reported that Malore and his siblings were embroiled in a 17-year-long property scuffle following the death of their father, Suleiman Malore in 2006. The property in contention comprises business premises, residential houses, vehicles and a 900-acre piece of land located in Kituuba village, Kisozi sub-county, in Kamuli district.
The family fight was referred to the Jinja high court for further redress after the family members failed to agree on the property sharing recommendations made by both the Administrator General and their clan heads.
By the time of his murder, Malore and his 39 siblings were due to hold their final property sharing harmonization meeting in a matter of a few hours, slated for today, Sunday, May 15.
The Kiira regional police spokesperson, James Mubi says that a team of detectives have been dispatched to the scene of crime and the hunt for the suspects is already underway.
