Diana Skys Found Dead in Kampala as Police Hold Suspects
The death of Diana Skys, a 24-year-old Ugandan social media influencer whose real name was Dianah Namulinde, has sent shockwaves through Kampala’s entertainment and digital-creator circles, prompting renewed questions about safety, accountability, and the hidden risks of online fame.
Ms. Namulinde was found dead inside her apartment earlier this week after friends and relatives raised concern when she stopped responding to calls and messages. Police later confirmed that she had been killed, launching an investigation that has since drawn intense public attention amid speculation about the circumstances surrounding her death.
Authorities say several personal items were missing from the apartment, leading investigators to treat the case as a suspected robbery turned violent. In the days following the discovery, police arrested a security guard attached to the building and detained other individuals of interest after recovering items believed to belong to the deceased.
Diana Skys had cultivated a growing following on TikTok and Instagram, where she shared lifestyle, fashion, and beauty content that resonated with a young, urban audience. Her carefully curated online presence portrayed confidence and success, making the news of her death particularly jarring to followers who saw her as a symbol of modern digital opportunity.
Her killing has reignited a broader national conversation about the safety of young women living alone in Kampala, particularly those whose visibility makes them more exposed. As tributes continue to pour in, many Ugandans are calling for a thorough investigation and justice that goes beyond headlines, hoping the case will lead to meaningful change rather than fleeting outrage
