Police have recovered the body of Dr Catherine Agaba, a medical doctor at International Hospital Kampala in a septic tank at her home in Muyenga.
Dr Agaba disappeared on April 13, 2019 after she reportedly asked for annual leave from her workstation- IHK. Since then, she has not been sighted anywhere. Several distress messages have been circulating on the social media to trace her but had yielded nothing.
“The entire staff of International Hospital Kampala would like to inform the public that one of their colleagues; Dr Catherine Agaba was reported missing on 13th April 2019. Dr Catherine is working with the hospital as a Medical Officer,” IHK said in a statement issued on Thursday.
“Our last contact with her was on Tuesday 9th April when she applied for annual leave. We appeal to anyone who has any useful information regarding her disappearance or whereabouts to report to the IHK Human Resource Office or the nearest police station. We continue to stand with and pray for her and her family during this trying moment…” the IHK statement reads.
The area chairman, Yasin Omar says a suspect identified as Obonga Kenny, 24, a guard at her apartment has been arrested.
Omar says it’s unfortunate that the crime could happen in a place where community policing started from.
Kampala metropolitan police spokesperson, Patrick Onyango says police had earlier arrested two suspects who led them to where the body was. The body has been taken to Mulago hospital for postmortem.
