Police in Mukono District have launched intensive investigations into the murder of the Director of Student Affairs at Uganda Christian University (UCU), Mukono.
The deceased has been identified as 46-year-old Tumwebaze Pamela, a resident of Gwafu West Village, Seeta Ward, Goma Division in Mukono District.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Racheal Kawala, the incident occurred shortly after midnight at the deceased’s residence.
Preliminary findings indicate that at around 2:00 a.m., the housemaid (names withheld) reportedly saw an unknown man inside the victim’s bedroom wearing the deceased’s jeans and stockings. The suspect allegedly fled the scene with a laptop bag belonging to the deceased.
