The bodies of a young woman and her boyfriend were found in separate locations in Mukono, Uganda, on Monday. The woman, Phiona Namuku, 20, was found dead by the roadside, and her boyfriend, Samuel Kibazo, 58, was found dead in his garden.
Police believe that the two deaths are linked, but they are still investigating the circumstances surrounding them.
Namuku’s body was found by locals on Monday morning. She had been stabbed multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. Her mother told police that Namuku had left home on Sunday evening to visit Kibazo, who is now a suspect in her murder.
Kibazo’s body was found by police later that day. He had hanged himself from a tree in his garden. Police believe that Kibazo may have killed Namuku and then taken his own life.
However, they are still not sure what led to the killings. They are interviewing Namuku’s family and friends, as well as Kibazo’s friends and neighbors, in an effort to piece together what happened.
The bodies of Namuku and Kibazo have been taken to Kayunga Hospital for postmortem examinations. Police say that the results of the examinations will help them to determine the cause of death and to piece together the sequence of events leading up to the killings.
The police are appealing to anyone with information about the killings to come forward. They are also urging people to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
The deaths of Namuku and Kibazo have shocked the community of Mukono. The police are working hard to solve the case and to bring the perpetrators to justice.
In the meantime, the families and friends of the victims are grieving their loss. They are asking for privacy during this difficult time.
