"Trouble started for the conscript identified as Imbenzi Paul, after he failed to collect litter as instructed by his squad leader, during last Friday’s morning fatigue. 

"A brief argument ensued before the suspect reached for the crucial course man’s implement used in clearing long grass and inflicted an injury on the squad leader’s head," stated the DCI in part regarding the incident that shocked the entire college. 

Kiganjo is a disciplined institution where civilians are shaped into disciplined police officers after going through various rigorous stages of moulding, 

It means that the case was a shocker not heard in the police college in recent times.

The suspect was arrested and detained at Kiganjo Police Station where he was booked for assault while awaiting to be arraigned in court to answer to his crimes. 

The slasher used in the incident was kept as an exhibit.

Meanwhile the recruit who was assaulted was treated at the college dispensary and discharged in fair condition.
