of beer, which he had brought in from outside. While Atwine's name
and address were recorded in the hotel register, he requested that the woman's
information not be documented.
The couple was given a room and
after some hours, the woman was seen leaving the room alone. Shortly
after her departure, she called the hotel owner to inform him that
Atwine was in poor health. The hotel owner who was not present at the
hotel at the time, instructed receptionist Kihembo Vian to check
on the guest and upon checking, Kihembo discovered that Atwine
was already dead. She immediately alerted the hotel owner
who in turn notified the police.
Tumusiime says Atwine was lying
on the bed, fully covered with a bed cover and upon removing the cover, it was
noted that his body was completely naked. His body was transported to KIU
Teaching Hospital for examination as investigations continue.
