A teenager was on Sunday evening stabbed to death by his friend in the city centre.
Imar Kahua, 18, stabbed Brian Irungu Aswan, 19, to death at the Kampala Coach bus stage at 5:30pm.
The two are said to have picked up a quarrel along Duruma Road before Imar stabbed Brian.
Police have launched a search for Imar who fled the scene after murdering his friend.
