Police in Rubanda District are hunting for unknown assailants who allegedly hacked to death a 16-year-old pupil of Rugarama Mixed Primary School in Kabale Town.
The deceased has been identified as Kyomuhendo Pamela, a resident of Kitungu Cell, Nyamiyaga Ward, Bubaare Town Council in Rubanda District.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, when Pamela reportedly left home to buy household items from nearby shops.
It is alleged that the assailants followed her for about 500 metres from the shops before attacking her with sharp objects, inflicting multiple injuries on her body.
Good Samaritans rushed her to Kabale Regional Referral Hospital for medical attention, but she was pronounced dead shortly after admission due to the severity of her injuries.
