A yet to be identified woman with dreadlocks was found dead and body dumped in a compound of Rose Namutebi, at Katabi, Busambaga cell in Entebbe Municipality.
According to Fred Mugerwa who is in charge of security at the local council, the body was discovered by a girl who was sweeping the compound on Monday morning.
"The face had bruises and she seemed to have been strangled. She was only left with a top while the rest of the body was exposed, showing several scratches," intimated Mugerwa.
Area residents who preferred anonymity, noted that the deceased was spotted at a nearby bar, Captain's Bar, on Sunday evening. When a Police sniffer dog was brought to the scene, it traced her origins to the bar.
