The territorial police of Rukiga are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of 30-year-old Niwamanya Victor, alias Simpi, a resident of Kirimbe Cell, Kandago Parish, Bukinda Sub-county in Rukiga District. Simpi was allegedly murdered after he critically injured Niwamanya Ivan in a bar altercation.

According to reports, the incident occurred on February 2, 2025, around 11:00 PM, when Niwamanya Victor and others were at the Banet bar. A disagreement between the individuals escalated into a physical fight. The deceased, armed with a panga, allegedly used it to strike Niwamanya Ivan on the neck, leaving him critically injured.

Ivan was rushed to Muhanga Health Center for first aid and later referred to Kabale Regional Referral Hospital for further treatment. Shortly afterward, an angry mob mobilized and attacked Niwamanya Victor at his home, lynching him in retaliation.

The report was made at Rukiga Police Station by Tugume Jack, the Chairman of Local Council 3, Bukinda Sub-county. Police visited both crime scenes, documented the evidence, and recorded statements from key witnesses. The body of the deceased was conveyed to Kabale Regional Referral Hospital for a postmortem before being handed over to the family for burial.

No arrests have been made yet, and investigations are ongoing to identify those involved in the killing and ensure justice is served.
