Daniel Ocira, a senior five student of Kitgum High School was reportedly killed by unknown people at Acutomer B, Cell in Kitgum Municipality on Wednesday.
The soldiers were arrested on Saturday night in Pandwong Division where they had reportedly mounted a separate roadblock to extort money from unsuspecting road users during curfew time. The Police, however, declined to divulge details of their particulars for fear of jeopardising investigations.
Several inmates from Gulu Central Prison whose cases were lined up for hearing were stuck in the holding cells for several hours after prison warders fidgeted to break the padlock.
