Entebbe — Police in Entebbe Division have launched a full investigation into a shocking incident of double murder and suspected aggravated robbery that claimed the lives of an elderly couple in Lugonjo Nakiwogo Cell, Entebbe Municipality, Wakiso District. According to Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire, the victims have been identified as Mutaaga David, 69, and his wife, Mutaaga Deborah Florence, 62.
The couple was found dead at their residence on July 6, 2025, after a worker attached to the household alerted authorities to a suspected attack. A team of officers swiftly responded to the scene, where they discovered the bodies bearing fatal stab wounds. “Preliminary examination revealed that both victims had sustained fatal stab wounds,” Owoyesigyire confirmed.
