Police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke confirmed the deaths of Bulali Isabirye, Annet Namulondo, and Violet Nanyombi in the fire, which broke out in the early hours of Monday. The victims were reportedly burned beyond recognition, with forensic identification still underway. Rusoke stated that six individuals survived the incident with injuries, though he did not specify their identities or conditions. Investigations into the blaze, which occurred at a residence in Nansana West One A, suggest the fire may have been intentional. Rusoke noted that occupants were allegedly forced out of the house prior to the fire, with evidence of violence and written materials found at the scene indicating premeditation. Authorities are treating the case as suspected arson while continuing to determine the exact cause and circumstances of the incident. The Nansana Municipality and local authorities have not yet issued public statements on the fire, but police confirmed that fire and rescue services responded to the scene. Rusoke emphasized that the investigation remains ongoing, with no arrests or suspects identified as of yet. The incident has raised concerns about safety and potential criminal motives in the area, though no further details have been released. The fire underscores broader issues of residential safety and emergency response in the region. While the exact cause remains under scrutiny, the loss of three lives and injuries to six others highlight the urgency of thorough investigations and community awareness. Police have not ruled out any possibilities but are focusing on the evidence of intentional ignition found at the site.
