Shock and awe has rocked residents of Lugonjo,, Nakiwogo Cell , Kiwafu ward,, Division A in Entebbe Municipality ,following the double murder of David Mutaaga 69 and his wife Deborah Florence Mutaaga 62 years  at their home on plot 17 research road.

The prior to the homicide , it is said that the couple on July 6, 2025 hosted a selected group of individuals  to what  a witness referred to as a family party at the residence. 

These individuals are reported to have begged leave of the premises by 9pm, a time frame now being used as a lead to piece up the puzzle on when and why the murder occurred.

According to Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson SSP Patrick Onyango, officers from Entebbe Police Station responded to an emergency call and found the lifeless bodies of the couple both with  multiple stab wounds.

The incident that the police is treating as  a violent break -in homicide has shocked  the somber lakeside community.

“The victims were found inside their home with deep stab wounds. Initial assessments suggest the attackers may have used sharp objects and possibly gained access with the intent to rob,” SSP Onyango said in a statement issued Monday.

Police recorded statements from multiple witnesses at the scene, including the informant Ronald Golooba, a close family acquaintance; the housemaid Daphine Naudo, who is said to have discovered the bodies; and several neighbors who reported unusual movements and noises during the night.

Crime scene investigators processed the house and collected evidence for forensic analysis, including fingerprints, blood samples, and household items that may have been used or tampered with during the attack.
