A final year student of Law at Kampala International University (KIU) was murdered and body dumped in his hostel room during Easter holiday, Campus Bee has learned.
The deceased has been identified as Adam Rukundo who was in 1st semester of fourth year, pursuing a Bachelor of Laws programme at the Kansanga -based campus.
According to the post mortem report, he was hit by iron bar thug(s), and this is believed to have happened while he was on his way to hostel on Saturday evening. His body was found lying in a pool of blood and lifeless in his hostel room.
The late Adam will be laid to rest at his home area in Kamwenge today, April 11
The KIU Law Society has since released a statement on the matter expressing sadness.
“…Hope this message finds you well. As the law society, we are in the sombre mood. Areeba Jona, Agaba Joshua, Nazil and I had a privilege of talking to Adam‘s Aunt who she stayed with in Konge, Buzinga.
It is believed that Adam was last seen on Saturday and it’s presumed to be the day when he was murdered in cold blood. The motive of the killers is still unknown and we hope Police will do investigations thereafter. The postmortem report suggests that he was clobbered with a harmer or “katayibwa” on the head. It’s indeed a terrible incident and so absurd.”
May the soul of the deceased Rest in Eternal Peace.
