“When they hit my dad, I quavered terribly, because blood started flowing from his mouth, nose, ears and head,” Francis (Ssewankambo’s child) told detectives in his statement. Francis added: “During the assault, my dad fell down and became unconscious. Scared by what would happen later, the perpetrators vanished from the scene and left me there. I started crying and also called for help. A Good Samaritan provided his motorcycle, and we rushed my dad to St Apollo Medical Centre in Namasuba before he was referred to Mulago Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a few hours later.” Ssewankambo was born on October 10, 1969, and was killed on his birthday, October 10, 2026.
Later, the Police from Katwe arrested the late Ssewankambo’s uncle, Ssaalongo Francis Lukwago, while his accomplices (his two sons, Michael Kaggwa and Francis Wasswa) remain at large.
