Police in Entebbe are investigating a suspected murder by stabbing following a domestic incident that left a 22-year-old woman dead in Kitoro Zone, Entebbe Municipality, Wakiso District.
The deceased, identified as Nakigudde Carol, a housewife and resident of Kitoro, died after an altercation at her home on the night of May 16, 2026.
Preliminary findings indicate that the incident occurred around 11:00pm during a dispute between Nakigudde and her husband, Husama Mukiibi, reportedly over 450,000 shillings she claimed was due to her from a local savings group. It is alleged that although the funds had been delivered through the husband, they were not handed over to her.

She was rushed to Entebbe Regional Referral Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at around 1:00amon May 17, 2026.
Police have stated that investigations are ongoing to establish the exact circumstances surrounding the incident.
Authorities have also urged members of the public experiencing domestic conflicts to seek assistance from the Child and Family Protection Unit to help prevent escalation of disputes.
