By Sania Babirye

A security guard attached to Tiger security group limited has been sentenced to 34 years in Prison after being convicted of murdering his girlfriend.

34 year old Anwar Quito has been sentenced by Masaka high court Judge Wilfred Nabisinde after he pleaded guilty to the offense.

While sentencing him, the judge ruled that the convict did not waste courts time and resources by pleading guilty to the crime.

However, the judge noted that the 34 years was a lenient punishment since the convict did not seem remorseful.

This is after the convict claimed that he shot dead his girlfriend out of rage since She was having another affair with a new man.

Meanwhile the convict has also been ordered to serve another 17 years after being convicted of aggravated robbery.

He is said to have robbed a one Bridget Ndagire of 400,000 shillings at gunpoint at muyinza in Kyotera.

All the two sentences will run concertedly.
