Kampala Metropolitan Police have confirmed the arrest of Eva Mbabazi, a woman in her early twenties, who had been widely speculated on social media as the last individual to be seen with the late Dr. John Spire Kiggundu.
Dr. Kiggundu's untimely death occurred on 21st June 2025, with his lifeless body discovered merely an hour after he had checked into the Dream Guest House in Lubowa, along Entebbe Road, at 5:45 PM.
Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango revealed that authorities had been actively searching for Mbabazi following the incident.
"We have been looking for her and finally this week we arrested her and brought her in," Onyango stated.

CCTV Footage Provides Crucial Link
The breakthrough in identifying Mbabazi came from closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage obtained from the Dream Guest House.
The cameras captured Mbabazi leaving the very room that Dr. Kiggundu had booked. This visual evidence provided a direct link between Mbabazi and the deceased doctor in the critical period before his body was discovered.
The footage corroborated the social media claims, transforming speculation into a tangible lead for the police force, enabling them to narrow down their search and eventually apprehend her.
With Mbabazi now in custody and having provided her statement, the police investigation has reached a critical juncture. Patrick Onyango confirmed that the investigative file has been forwarded to the state attorney for legal advice.
"Since this was a general inquiry file, we did not attach a charge sheet. We wanted the state attorney to guide us on whether she has a case to answer and what charge we should file," Onyango explained.
The police are now awaiting this crucial advice, which they anticipate receiving as soon as Thursday. The state attorney's guidance will determine the next steps, including whether formal charges will be filed against Eva Mbabazi and the specific nature of those charges.
