In a dramatic turn of events, 23-year-old Eva Mbabazi has provided chilling details to police detectives about the final moments of Dr. John Spire Kiggundu, the renowned gynecologist and proprietor of Henrob Hospital, whose mysterious death at Dream Guest House on June 22 sparked national outcry.
The Fateful Night: Romance, Panic, and Abandonment
According to police interrogation reports exclusively obtained by ugamusic.biz, Mbabazi disclosed that her relationship with Dr. Kiggundu began in 2018 when she accompanied her pregnant sister to Henrob Hospital. Despite the doctor’s marital status, they maintained a secret seven-year connection, communicating 17 times via phone and WhatsApp between May and June 2025 alone.
On June 21 at 5:45 PM, Mbabazi arrived at Room 111 of Dream Guest House in Kajjansi, where Dr. Kiggundu had checked in earlier. She found:
- Two half-empty bottles (water and Minute Maid juice)
- Unused HIV testing kits
- Panadol Extra tablets
- No condoms in the room
After approximately 30 minutes of intimacy, Dr. Kiggundu suddenly developed severe breathing difficulties. “She asked what was wrong, but he couldn’t answer,” a police source revealed. Mistaking his symptoms for epilepsy (ensimbu), Mbabazi waited briefly before fleeing in panic. She later returned to retrieve a perfume gift, finding him motionless on the bed before escaping through a back exit.
Digital Trails and Police Manhunt
CCTV footage captured Mbabazi’s movements:
- 5:45 PM: Enters room wearing striped trousers, blouse, and cross-body bag
- 5:52 PM: Briefly exits and re-enters
- 6:00 PM: Departs permanently
Despite attempting to call Dr. Kiggundu from her bodaboda ride home, her calls went unanswered. She only learned of his death through news reports, never alerting authorities about the medical emergency.
Medical Findings vs. Public Skepticism
While Dr. Kiggundu’s family confirmed a post-mortem report attributing his death to acute cardiomyopathy (heart failure), forensic investigations remain ongoing:
- Toxicology tests pending: Police await analysis of the room’s bottles and contents
- DPP reviewing case: Charges of criminal negligence or homicide remain possible
Public outrage has surged online, with social media users condemning Mbabazi’s failure to seek help. Judith Kyalimpa Ploen commented: “You can’t see someone dying and run... She cared only about saving her own skin”
Dr. Kiggundu’s Legacy and Unanswered Questions
The 47-year-old laparoscopic surgery pioneer was mourned nationally. His brother, Dr. Jimmy Spire Ssentongo, described him as a “visionary who feared death”.. Yet, critical uncertainties persist:
- Why were unused HIV kits present?
- Did substances in the juice/water contribute to cardiac stress?
- Would timely medical intervention have saved his life?
Current Status
Mbabazi, arrested in Seeta, Mukono District, is currently detained at Kajjansi Police Station. Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire confirmed her file is with the Resident State Attorney, who will determine criminal liability
This developing story continues to grip Uganda, straddling the line between tragic romance and potential criminal negligence. As investigators await forensic clarity, Dr. Kiggundu’s legacy as a healer stands in stark contrast to the unresolved chaos of his final hours.
