British former UN diplomat 'assassinated' in Uganda After retiring from the UN Mr Coggon made his money setting up the 4 Turkey's Bar and Restaurant resort in Entebbe, which included Nicky's Pizza, named after his wife. Police sources have claimed that Mr Coggon - who lost a leg to a landmine in Lebanon in 1974 - knew he was going to be attacked as he approached his home. One detective told a local newspaper: "He sensed a trap but shortly after pulling out of the gate, gunshots rung." Derek was shot twice in the chest. He struggled to save his life by driving to Entebbe town but no clinic was open. He died of over bleeding. A guard at his home has been arrested, but his family fear his wife lied about her nationality and is actually from the Congo, where they believe she has fled. His mother Pamela, 85, and brother Peter, 45, are due to identify the body. A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said: "We are aware of the death of British national Derek Coggon in Entebbe, Uganda, on March 8 and we are providing consular assistance to his family."
