Furthermore, neighbors rushed to offer assistance; however, the house was already engulfed in flames, making rescue efforts extremely difficult. Police were alerted, and the Fire Prevention and Rescue Services team responded swiftly, successfully containing the fire and preventing it from spreading to adjacent properties.
While the exact cause of the fire is yet to be established, preliminary investigations, including statements from some of Ssekabila’s acquaintances, suggest that he may have been exhibiting signs of suicidal behavior. However, this line of inquiry remains under investigation and is yet to be confirmed.
ASP Luke Owoyesigyire stated, “We wish to express our sincere condolences to the affected family and community. We remain committed to uncovering the full circumstances surrounding this incident. Further details will be shared as soon as they become available.”
In conclusion, the bodies have been conveyed to City Mortuary, Mulago, for postmortem examination.
