Despite initial reports hinting at domestic violence as a potential cause of death, authorities are yet to determine who discharged the fatal shot from the recovered firearm at the crime scene.

Meanwhile, Molly Katanga, the widow of the deceased, remains under medical care at the International Hospital Kampala, where she was admitted last Thursday.
