Kampala Central Police Station are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of an 11-year-old female juvenile.
The incident occurred on Tuesday 23/12/2025 at approximately 9:00AM at Old Taxi Park, Tororo Stage, Kampala Central.
Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Racheal Kawala said preliminary investigations indicate that on 22/12/2025 at around 4:30PM, the driver of motor vehicle registration number UBM 696P, a Toyota Hiace identified as Kalulu Bosco, was loading passengers in Tororo stage when a guide only known as Asuman brought to him a girl aged approximately 11 years, who was allegedly traveling to Walusubi in Mukono District.
The driver was provided with two telephone contacts of the person who was to receive the child upon arrival.
However, upon reaching Walusubi at about 0030 hours, the driver attempted to contact both numbers; but, one phone was switched off, while the other was answered by a person who stated that it was a wrong number.
The driver then decided to proceed with the child to Kampala, with the intention of taking her back to Tororo should the contacts remain unreachable. The deceased spent the night inside motor vehicle UBM 696P.
In the morning, after the vehicle was loaded to return to Tororo and was exiting Old Taxi Park, one of the passengers noticed that the child was motionless.
Police were notified of the incident, and a case of sudden death has since been registered. By press time, the body had been conveyed to KCCA City Mortuary for postmortem examination.
It has been established that the deceased was not in the company of any known relative.
“A search of her belongings revealed a piece of paper containing two telephone numbers. A yellow T-shirt bearing the badge of St. Anthony Parents Mukono, with the name “Kiiza” written on it, was also recovered.” Said SP Kawala
Police has advised parents and guardians to ensure that children travel in the company of a responsible adult or are appropriately supervised at all times for their safety.
