The deceased is identified as Grace Kiconco, she was on Monday found dead in her hostel suspected to have succumbed to the deadly corona virus.
“The KIU law fraternity mourns the passing of our very own Kiconco Grace who was found dead in her room today.

An anonymous source told Kaaro Karungi that the university is however keeping the information as confidential.
“Yes, she is dead although they (the university) have seized the info to be out” a source confirmed to Kaaro Karungi.
The source alleges that the university has recorded some cases of corona virus but deliberately hidden the information from the public domains.
Another credible source whose sister is a student at this university disclosed that his sister contracted the virus in the university hostel where she has been residing.
“My sister gat covid was in her residence didn’t know shit en when we picked her to hospital, mother fuckers said she gat covid, in intensive care unit currently…I’m sorry about the language but…. anyway,”
This source revealed that family is incurring a burden of paying costs to meet his sister’s hospital bills.
“… we are paying for the medical bills so big question mark right there. Each dose costing 250k some big must be eating well about ug covid,” source said.
