“Nsubuga’s body was found hanging on a rope tied on the door in his room. Teams from Wandegeya and Makerere police stations visited the scene and conveyed the body to the Mulago Hospital mortuary for post-mortem,” he said in a statement.
Owoyesigire says police is investigating the motive behind the suicide and information on ground is that the deceased has been in debt.
“May be the cause is foiled business or debt collectors’ demands or pressure,” Oweyesigire says.
Makerere University guild president Julius Kateregga says the deceased’s roommate had gone to church for prayers when the incident occurred.
“By the time he got back he found the door locked. He tried to peep through the window and saw someone hanging,” Kateregga says.
