Kampala, Uganda – The Territorial Police in Kampala Metropolitan North are investigating the murder of Aneza Merisa, a student at Naalya SS, Lugazi Campus.
The case began on November 6, 2025, when Aneza’s mother, Kamuganga Sarah, reported her missing to Wandegeya Police Station.
On November 10, 2025, a decomposing body was recovered from Musaale Swamp in Namulaba Village, Kyampisi Subcounty, under Nagalama Police Station.
The body was dressed in a navy-blue student skirt labeled “Nanyonga VII,” suggesting that the victim may have been a student. Due to the body’s advanced state of decomposition, it was initially buried by mortuary staff in Kayunga.
However, as the investigation progressed, police sought and obtained a court order to exhume the body for proper identification.
DNA samples were extracted and submitted to the Forensics Headquarters in Naguru, which confirmed that the body was that of Aneza Merisa.
“We are now treating this case as a murder investigation,” said Rachel Kawala, police spokesperson for Kampala metropolitan. “Detectives are following leads to establish the circumstances under which Aneza was killed and her body dumped in the swamp.”
The police have extended their deepest condolences to the family and assured the public that they are committed to bringing the perpetrators to justice.
The body has been handed over to the relatives for burial.
