It was then that her schoolmates heard her screaming from the bush and rushed to inform Ntegeka Moses, a resident nearby who in turn informed the police. When they arrived at the scene, they noticed the victim had been defiled and strangled to death.
“As the victim, together with four other pupils, walked home, they met a stranger who convinced the young girl to go and assist him in carrying the firewood. The other children later heard Komugisha cry,” Sam said.
According to the mother of the deceased, Kemirembe Jovan, she had previously cautioned her daughter not to move alone since the only nearby school required children to cross through a bushy farm path. She always told her to move in the company of her friends.
