KAMPALA. Kampala socialite Bryan Kirumira, commonly known as Bryan White, is in hot soup again after a woman died under unclear circumstances at his home in Kyamula, Makindye Division, a city suburb.
According to police Caroline Nalubwama,25 died after allegedly sustaining serious injuries at Bryan’s residence .
Police said Nalubwama was taken to Kiruddu Hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly upon arrival.
“Preliminary information indicates that the deceased was at the home of Mr Bryan Kirumira alias Bryan White when the incident occurred,” said ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, deputy police spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan.
“She was later rushed to Kiruddu Hospital where she was pronounced dead.”
Detectives examined the crime scene, collected exhibits, and transferred the body to City Mortuary Mulago for a post-mortem examination.
Police said Kirumira, who also sustained injuries, is receiving medical treatment and has recorded a statement to assist the investigation.
“Efforts are underway to retrieve CCTV footage and interview additional witnesses to piece together the actual sequence of events,” Owoyesigyire said, adding that updates would be provided once substantial progress is made.
Bryan White, 38, rose to fame in 2017 after launching a charity foundation that attracted young followers and celebrities through cash giveaways and public shows of wealth. He later faced scrutiny over allegations of sexual abuse and human trafficking.
In 2021, Uganda’s Parliament’s Human Rights Committee recommended his arrest over claims that he had exploited a 17-year-old girl, though no conviction followed. White has since kept a low profile until the latest incident brought him back into the public eye.
