The family are residents of Rwongora Cell, Kitojo Parish, in Rwamucucu Sub-county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reliable sources indicate that Mbabazi was last seen alive at her home with her two-month-old baby on the afternoon of Saturday, December 6, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following evening, Sunday, December 7, 2025, her lifeless body was discovered inside the house, hanging from a piece of lesu (cloth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kigezi Regional Police spokesperson, ASP Elly Maate, confirmed that after being notified, police visited, processed, and documented the crime scene and recorded witness statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maate added that a critical examination revealing a deep stab wound to the neck has raised suspicion that she was killed first and her body was then carefully staged to appear as a hanging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He further noted that officers searching the vicinity recovered a knife with suspected bloodstains outside the homestead\u2019s compound, which has been secured as evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A police dog was deployed to the scene and its tracking led to the arrest of a suspect, who is pending thorough questioning by a team of investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The body of the deceased has been conveyed to the Kabale Regional Referral Hospital mortuary to await a post-mortem examination, which is expected to provide definitive findings on the cause of death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUKIGA, UGANDA &#8211; The wife of the Bishop of the Worldwide Anglican Church (WAC) was found deceased
