In a tragic incident at Mosque Zone, Kibuli Parish, Makindye Division, Kampala District, Senkungu Arnold and Atwine Shina lost their lives on the morning of December 27, 2023.
The shocking event unfolded at Senkungu Arnold’s residence in Kabalagala where the 24-year-old barber and 21-year-old student were discovered in distress by their neighbor, Sserunjoji Frank.
Upon finding locked doors and traces of fresh blood, concerned neighbors intervened by forcibly entering the premises. Inside, they found Senkungu Arnold alive but succumbing to injuries at Kibuli Hospital, while Atwine Shina was tragically found lifeless with a deep neck wound.
A prompt police response and assistance from the Homicide Unit unveiled a scene marked by signs of struggle. A new knife, stained with fresh blood, along with witness statements, played a crucial role in advancing the investigation.
Senkungu Arnold exhibited multiple injuries, and indications suggest that the couple may have been experiencing difficulties in their marriage. Atwine Shina had reportedly confided in a friend about mistreatment and had purchased a new knife, potentially indicating premeditation. The motive behind the murder is still under investigation, and additional details will be provided as the inquiry progresses.
The bodies of the deceased are currently at City Mortuary pending post-mortem examinations. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward and assist in the pursuit of justice.
