The suspect thereafter attempted to set the room on fire over the weekend. Police have identified the deceased as Rashidah Nakaddu, a former student of Buganda Royal Institute and Technical Institute-Mengo.
She was killed in the gruesome incident that happened in Nabweru North One Ward in Nansana Municipality in Wakiso District.
“The incident is believed to have happened on Saturday night when the two were together. Our preliminary investigations further reveal that the deceased has been receiving a male visitor over the weekends and he would always leave on Sunday. He has been visiting his lover on Saturdays and leaves on Sundays,” the Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesperson, Mr Luke Owoyesigyire said in a Sunday police statement.
“The suspect who is currently on the run, also tried to set the room on fire,” he added.
According to Mr Owoyesigyire, the deceased was hit several times. There were also signs of strangulation.
“The window glasses were shattered and the metallic door was cut by the first responders since the padlock had been locked from inside,” he said, adding that Nakaddu’s dress was also found soaked in blood stains.
“Her body was found with several stab wounds in the armpits, on the neck, arms and back. Whatever happened between them is still a mystery but our detectives are investigating to establish the facts,” Owoyesigyire explained.
Police retrieved the deceased’s body and conveyed it to Mulago City Mortuary for an autopsy report.

![[dropcap]P[/dropcap]resident Yoweri Museveni is reportedly disturbed by the high number of cases of land grabbing involving officials from the State House and the Office of the President. This was revealed on Friday by Ms Phiona Barungi, the State House Special Assistant on General Duties while meeting land-grabbing victims in Luwero district. Barungi said the president had been lately overwhelmed by complaints about State House officials tormenting scores of people, especially in central Uganda. “There’s just too many complaints about State House employees,” she said. “We have become a big problem, even the president himself, who gave us these jobs is concerned… He does not know what to do.” “He sent us to serve the people but we are now serving our stomachs. It has gotten to a point where almost every state house official is involved in a land wrangle somewhere.” In a meeting held in Zirobwe village in Bukyimu sub-county in Bamunakika, Barungi said her office was being bombarded daily by helpless people. Some of these are facing death threats from powerful people. “Yesterday I had just landed from Turkey, I even was feeling sick. I found a man at the airport waiting for me,” Barungi told the meeting. “He told me that a man connected to Gen Muhoozi Kairerugaba was hunting him to kill him and take his land. When I asked around, it turned out that this man has no connection to Gen Muhoozi. He is just a serial land grabber.” In the meeting, the residents singled out a number of people who have been harassing them. These also went ahead destroying their crop gardens, and metting out all manner of violence to force them out of their land. The Minister of Lands Hon Sam Mayanja during the meeting ordered an immediate arrest of two of these land grabbers. They include Mary Babirye and Rasmus Kagaba.
