The deceased’s mother Catherine Wamala told mourners that her daughter died at a time when she was looking forward to her wedding.

Catherine also asked the Chief of Defense Forces to beef up General Katumba’s security.

Margret Kanyali, a sister to Gen. Katumba noted that her brother’s attackers could have been jealous of his personal achievements and rise in the military.

The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, Dr Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu who presided over the requiem mass and the Mufti of Uganda Sheik Shaban Ramathan Mubajje who represented the Inter-Religious Council of Uganda prayed for security forces and requested them to ensure justice to families of those that have been killed.

The Chief of Defense Forces-CDF General David Muhoozi assured the mourners that unlike other high profile killings where investigations and reports have delayed, this time investigations into Gen Katumba‘s shooting will be thorough and a detailed report about the incident will be released on time.

General Katumba thanked the mourners and other Ugandans for showing love to the family. He says that he was overwhelmed by the sympathies he received and support following the incident.
