The 14-year-old boy was excitable, like any other teenager at his age. Their landlady, Sarah Nakanwagi, says although Walusimbi had been living in her rentals for two months, she had not encountered any problem with him.
The rentals are in Wampamba Zone in Wobulenzi Town Council, Luweero District.
“He had no history of bad conduct. He was living with his sister, who is about two years older than him. Their mother rented the room for them. She lives and works in Masaka City,” the landlady said.
Walusimbi’s uncle, Ibra Ssebunya, says his nephew was shot when he went out to buy chips.
