Police in Kampala are holding two suspects in custody on allegations of aggravated robbery and murder by strangulation of Dianah Namulinde, a 24-year-old social media content creator.
The incident occurred on the night of February 3, 2026, in Kwaata Zone, Kyanja Ward, Kawempe Division, Kampala City, according to Kampala Metropolitan Police Deputy Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire.
Owoyesigyire said Namulinde of @Diana Skys, was living alone in an apartment in Kyanja. Her body was discovered on February 4, 2026, after her friends went to check on her and found her apartment open.
“A team of homicide detectives and scene of crime officers visited and documented the scene. Several exhibits were recovered, and statements from relevant witnesses recorded,” Owoyesigyire said on Thursday.
He said investigators first arrested a security guard working at the premises after he was found in possession of items suspected to have been stolen from the deceased.
“So far, three suspects have been identified, and two have been arrested to assist with investigations. The body of the deceased was conveyed to KCCA Mulago City Mortuary for postmortem examination, and the investigations are ongoing,” he added.
