Police in Kiwatule is investigating the death of Eng. Barbara Anne Alimadi, a senior member of the opposition Alliance for National Transformation (ANT).
Alimadi, aged 48, was the ANT Coordinator for International and Diaspora Affairs. She was on Monday night found dead in her house in Kiwatule where she was staying alone.
Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Patrick Onyanga says Alimadi’s death was reported to police by a neighbour, Harry Wakibra. He says the scene was later visited by a team of detectives who examined the area and recorded statements from the witnesses around.
“Police preliminary findings indicate that the deceased lived alone in the house. The findings further indicate that she was found lying straight on her stomach with straight legs. The lying body shows she could have been in pain during her last breathe. There is no sign of struggle or injuries on the body,” Onyango explained.
The body was taken to City Mortuary Mulago for postmortem as investigations continue.
Alimadi, formerly a member of the Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) switched to ANT, founded by Maj Gen Mugisha Muntu when he quit FDC.
