The Entebbe community is reeling after a brutal double murder in Lugonjo Nakiwogo Cell, where a couple recently returned from abroad was found dead in their home.
David Mutaaga, 69, and his wife, Deborah Florence Mutaaga, 62, were discovered on the morning of July 6 with fatal stab wounds, according to preliminary police findings.
The bodies were found after a domestic worker reported a suspected attack to authorities. Officers from the Entebbe Division police responded and confirmed the deaths at the scene.
“This was a targeted and violent attack. The couple had only recently returned from abroad and were settling back into their home. It’s a devastating loss,” said Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire.
Police are treating the case as a double murder with suspected aggravated robbery.
“We condemn this heinous act in the strongest terms. Our teams conducted a full crime scene examination, collected exhibits of evidential value, and transported the bodies to City Mortuary Mulago for postmortem,” Owoyesigyire said.
He added that efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend those responsible.
“We want to assure the public that no stone will be left unturned. We are fully committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice,” he said.
Police say multiple leads are being followed, though the motive remains unclear.
