Magondu, the pilot of the ill-fated chopper that crashed on April 18, killing 10, among them CDF Francis Ogolla, was happily married to a fellow military officer, captain Brenda Okello.

The couple was blessed with three handsome boys: Liam Wallace Magondu Kabue, aged six, Ryan Walter Kabue and Neil William Kabue, both aged four.

Magondu and his children shared a strong bond, and while eulogising him, his mother-in-law, Maureen Akinyi, said his children, grappling with the loss of their father, kept asking for him since the tragic incident.
