The Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson Kawala Racheal, has revealed that two suspects have been arrested after a 14 year old pupil of Kololo Junior School, Kayunga Cell, Gombe Ward in Wakiso District was found hanging dead in a school dormitory.
According to Kawala, the pupil identified as John Terry Kisekka was found hanging dead by fellow pupils around 8pm after night preps.
“Preliminary findings indicate that on at about 2000hrs, as pupils returned to the dormitory from evening prep, they found Terry hanging inside the dormitory. They immediately informed the matron, who notified the school director. Police were later informed” she said.
Kawala noted that the deceased’s body was found hanging by a red scarf tied to a pole in the dormitory.
Kawala noted that the school director and matron were taken into custody to assist police investigations into the murder.
“We urge schools, parents, and guardians to promptly report to the police or seek professional help whenever signs of depression or distress are observed in children. Taking time to talk to children, both at school and at home, is crucial.”
The deceased body was taken to Mulago City Mortuary for post-mortem.
