It’s unlikely that woman found dead at bypass was jogging, police say

Police are continuing with investigations into the murder of a female fuel station boss, whose body was discovered on Sunday at the Northern Bypass in central Uganda.

Agnes Nantongo’s body was recovered from around the flyover near Agenda at Kamuli A Zone, Kireka Ward in Namugongo Division, Wakiso District, on Sunday.

Nantongo, who is believed to be in her 30s was a manager at African Oil Petrol Station in Kawempe Division but a resident of Matuga in Wakiso District.

"Now, most people, of course, suspected that she could have been jogging and then hit by those rogue elements along the bypass. We have not ascertained that,” police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke told journalists in Kampala on September 30.

Rusoke emphasized that “it is very less likely that the woman was killed while jogging.”
