A woman committed suicide and was found dead in her bed. Jacqueline Nansubuga, a resident of Namasuba Kalina Zone was found dead by her family members who had gone to her room to greet her on Thursday.

She left behind a note. It read: “A note to police and my family members. I am sorry to have killed myself. But it was because of debts.”

Nansubuga had made similar complaints to her family members last week when she met her parents in Bunamwaya, Wakiso district. Nansubuga in the note indicated that she had a bank loan she had failed to service and she had no job.

A bottle containing poison was found bedside her bed when the police and residents entered her house. The police are not looking for killers because there is evidence that Nansubuga killed herself.

Her family members and some neighbours have recorded statements. John Kanyike, a brother to the deceased says the deceased would be buried in Masaka on Friday. The police have taken the body to Mulago National Referral hospital for a postmortem.

Thieves sweep former president’s home clean

Insurance companies will have to come to the rescue of the former Makerere University Guild president because we hear thugs last night swept his home in Nakasero when he was away for burial in Gulu.

When Denis Okema returned home with his family, his house was wide open with no trace of his property, save for rolls of toilet pepper.

Like he was possessed Okema rushed to neighbours and shouted ‘my house has been swept clean and all the property stolen.’

The neighbours also came and checked his house and found it empty. Okema has now reported the matter to the area police post and as usual the force is hunting for the thugs. The police are yet to nab the people who stole Okema’s property.
