Kampala socialite Bryan Kirumira appeared before Makindye Chief Magistrate's Court on charges connected to the death of Carol Nalubwama, a 25-year-old woman who sustained fatal burn injuries at his residence in Kyamula Zone. Authorities transported the defendant to court in an ambulance while lying on a stretcher with bandaged burn wounds, and proceedings took place in chambers with only law enforcement and family members of the deceased present.
Prosecutors accuse Kirumira and four co-defendants of performing a ritual involving candle wax, petrol, and ghee that resulted in the victim's injuries. Additional charges include possession of marijuana and providing false statements to investigators who initially received reports of a gas cylinder accident. Magistrate Sarah Basemera ordered detention at Luzira prison until a scheduled appearance for case updates, while separate manslaughter charges were filed against a nursing home employee accused of failing to arrange emergency medical care for Nalubwama.
