Police probe the death of a German national in Bushenyi
Police In Bushenyi district are investigating circumstances surrounding the mysterious death of Matthias Muller, a 46-year-old German national who passed away at Kampala International University Teaching Hospital on March 27, 2025.
Martial Tumusiime, the Greater Bushenyi police spokesperson confirmed the incident and identified Muller who traveled to Uganda for a visit. Reports indicate that he was in Uganda to reconnect with a friend he met during a music performance in Kigali, Rwanda in 2017.
Sad Mugisha Kadingidi, a 48-year-old DJ from Kyenzaza Cell in Rubirizi District reported the case to the police after inviting Muller to his home. Upon the German national’s arrival on March 18, 2025, Kadingidi noticed that Muller had developed a severe cough and was not taking any medication.
Concerned for his friend’s health, Kadingidi took Muller to St. Benjamin Diagnostic Centre in Kyenzaza for treatment. Unfortunately, Muller’s condition deteriorated, leading to his referral to Kampala International University Teaching Hospital.
At the hospital, he was diagnosed with lung cancer and, tragically, succumbed to the illness just days later. He was pronounced dead at approximately 7:30 AM on March 27.
Authorities are conducting an investigation to uncover the details surrounding Muller’s death and any further updates will be provided by the police as inquiries continue.
