Police in Mukono District have intensified investigations into the murder by strangulation of Pamela Tumwebaze.
The 46-year-old Director of Student Affairs at Uganda Christian University (UCU) and a resident of Gwafu West Village, Seeta Ward, Goma Division, Mukono District, was found dead in her bedroom.
According to Rachael Kawala, the Public Relations Officer for Kampala Metropolitan Police, the incident occurred on February 11, 2026, at around 2:00 a.m. at her residence.
“Preliminary findings indicate that at around 2:00 a.m., the houseboy saw an unknown man inside her bedroom wearing the deceased’s jeans and stockings. The suspect later fled the scene carrying a laptop bag belonging to the deceased,” Kawala said.
She added that the houseboy and the children checked on their mother and found her unresponsive in bed. She was rushed to Namirembe Church of Uganda Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Kawala said police task teams have been deployed and investigations are ongoing to identify, trace, and arrest the suspect. The Uganda Police Force, she noted, remains fully committed to ensuring that the perpetrator is apprehended and brought to justice.
