Police have released a reconstructed image of an unidentified woman whose head and body were reportedly recovered from separate locations in Greater Masaka, as investigations into suspected serial killings linked to Kulaish Kamugisha continue.

Police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke has appealed to members of the public to help identify the woman and trace her relatives, saying investigators have so far struggled to establish who she was.

The woman’s headless body was discovered at Butale Cell, Zzinga village, in Kyanamukaka Sub-county, while her head was recovered from Kako Cell in Masaka District.

The remains were discovered on September 29, 2026, but police have yet to publicly establish the victim’s identity.

Authorities are hoping that the reconstructed image will help someone who knew the woman recognise her and provide information that could assist investigators.

Suspect linked to disturbing murder allegations

The investigation has drawn attention to Kulaish Kamugisha, also known as Fred Mujulizi, who is suspected of involvement in a series of killings.

According to police, Kamugisha allegedly confessed to killing the unidentified woman, claiming that he decapitated her and removed her heart.

Investigators are working to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing and verify the suspect’s statements through supporting evidence.

Police have also been following leads involving other suspected murders in Nsangi, Wakiso District, and Sanga, Kiruhura District.

The investigation has reportedly extended to older murder cases in Greater Masaka and neighbouring areas as detectives seek to establish whether the incidents are connected.

Suspect committed for trial

The case took another step on November 6, 2026, when Kamugisha was reportedly committed to the High Court for trial by the Masaka Chief Magistrate’s Court.

Three charges were withdrawn, leaving one murder charge against him. His co-accused, Huzairu Kyambadde, was discharged after charges against him were withdrawn.

The developments have added to public concern about the suspected killings and the continuing investigations.

Police appeal for public assistance

Police are urging anyone who recognises the woman or has information that could help establish her identity to contact investigators.

The appeal is considered important in helping the victim’s family establish what happened to their relative and supporting the ongoing investigation.

As detectives continue pursuing leads, identifying the woman remains a significant part of the case.

Police have maintained that allegations and confessions must be supported by evidence as investigations and court proceedings continue.

Uncovered UG will continue following developments in the investigation.
