At least two Ugandan football fans are facing murder charges after a man was killed in the capital, Kampala in a row over the result of a match in England.

A youth councillor died from stab wounds after intervening in a fight after Arsenal lost to Manchester City on Friday.

Allan Kakumba died moments after being admitted to hospital the following day, the Daily Monitor newspaper reports.

Police said in a statement that two suspects were in custody.

"We shall be arraigning the suspect in court soon," Luke Oweyesigire, the spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan Police, told the BBC.
