Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong> <\/span>Thousands of mourners thronged Namayumba Sub-County in Kyampisi, Wakiso District, on Friday to bid farewell to Diana Namulinde, popularly known as Diana Skyz, the 24-year-old social media content creator and online businesswoman who was found dead in her Kyanja apartment on Wednesday.<\/b><\/p>\n

The burial service was filled with emotional speeches celebrating Diana\u2019s passion for her work, her dedication to promoting businesses online, and her vibrant presence on social media.<\/p>\n

However, mourners also took the opportunity to urge the public to refrain from spreading rumors and unverified information, emphasizing the importance of allowing police investigations to run their course.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have seen cases like that of Pastor Bugyingo\u2019s bodyguard, Richard Muhumuza, among others, who died under unclear circumstances. Social media influencers often spread unverified information, yet no one has been held accountable. Let us be cautious when speaking about issues concerning death,\u201d one mourner said.<\/p>\n

In his sermon, Rev. Douglas Kato Sseninde condemned actions driven by jealousy and hatred, which can lead to tragic outcomes. He urged the community to embrace patience and forgiveness. His remarks were echoed by Pastor Wilson Bugembe of the Worship House Nansana, who reminded attendees to remain vigilant against actions that could harm others.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the deceased\u2019s lifeless body was discovered in her Kyanja apartment after friends went to check on her and found the apartment door open. She had reportedly been living alone.<\/p>\n

Adressing the media earlier this week, Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire confirmed that the Kampala Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding Diana\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolice at Kira Road are investigating a case of aggravated robbery and murder by strangulation that occurred on the night of 3rd February 2026 in Kwaata Zone, Kyanja Ward, Kawempe Division, Kampala City. The deceased has been identified as Namulinde Diana, a 24-year-old businesswoman and social media content creator, who was living alone in an apartment in Kyanja,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Owoyesigyire added that earlier on the same day, police arrested a security guard attached to the premises after he was found in possession of items suspected to have been stolen. Some of the recovered items were later identified as belonging to the deceased.<\/p>\n

According to the him, a team of homicide detectives and Scene of Crime Officers visited and documented the scene, recovered several exhibits, and recorded statements from relevant witnesses. So far, three suspects have been identified, and two have been arrested to assist with investigations.<\/p>\n

Police have appealed to the public to allow the investigation to proceed without interference and avoid sharing unverified information on social media<\/p>\n

Diana Skyz tragic death has left friends, family, and followers mourning the loss of a young and vibrant talent in Uganda\u2019s social media and business space.<\/p>\n
