Police in Entebbe are investigating a murder by stabbing that occurred on Tuesday August 24 at Nakawuka Zone B, Kajjansi Town Council when a 13-year-old girl stabbed Sadiq Matovu, 15.
According to the Police report, the incident happened at around 7 pm and the suspect reported to police after.
She was arrested and police dispatched at the scene.
“The police have since established after inquiries that while the suspect was at her mother’s (Faith Namawejje) workplace in Nakawuka, the deceased, with 14 other boys, started assaulting her and in self-defence, allegedly picked the knife and stabbed Sadiq in the chest,” KMP Deputy Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigire said in a statement.
The victim was rushed to hospital for treatment but died on the way. He had sustained injuries on the left side of the chest.
The body was later conveyed to the city mortuary at Mulago for a post mortem.
