Fresh details have emerged regarding the brutal murder of Pamela Tumwebaze, the Director of Students Affairs at Uganda Christian University (UCU), shedding more light on the chilling circumstances surrounding her death.
Preliminary reports indicate that the unknown assailant is believed to have hidden inside the house and waited for the family to fall asleep before launching the fatal attack in the early hours of the morning.
Investigators suspect the attacker pounced after ensuring the household was quiet. Tumwebaze was allegedly strangled during the assault. She was later rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
In a disturbing development, sources say the suspect left the scene wearing one of the deceased’s dresses, raising further questions about the motive behind the crime. Observers believe this detail suggests the attacker’s primary intention may not have been theft, but rather to take her life.
Although a laptop bag and her mobile phone were reported missing, investigators are still working to determine whether robbery was the main motive or if the killing was targeted.
The shocking revelations have deepened grief and fear within the UCU community and the wider public, as many struggle to comprehend the brutality of the crime.
Police say investigations are ongoing and have urged the public to remain calm as detectives piece together evidence to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.
The murder of the senior university official has sparked calls for justice, with students, colleagues, and residents demanding swift action to bring those responsible to book.
