Uganda Police Force have confirmed the brutal killing of 24-year-old renowned UgandanTikToker and content creator Namulinde Diana, widely known online as Diana Skyz, in a chilling crime that has sent shockwaves across social media and the entertainment community.
According to police, Diana Skyz was strangled to death inside her apartment in Kyanja on 3 February 2026, but her lifeless body was only discovered the following day. Investigators say the scene showed clear signs of robbery, raising suspicions that the murder may have been linked to a violent theft.
In a major breakthrough, police arrested a security guard attached to the apartment, who was allegedly found in possession of items stolen from the crime scene. His arrest reportedly led detectives to three prime suspects, with two already in custody as homicide detectives intensify investigations to establish the full circumstances surrounding the killing.
The murder has sparked intense public debate on X (formerly Twitter), with many users applauding police for what they describe as a swift response and early arrests. However, others have expressed deep frustration, questioning why similar urgency has not been applied to previous high-profile unsolved cases, including the widely discussed Mutaaga family murders.
As condolences pour in from fans and fellow creators, Diana Skyz’s death has once again ignited concerns over urban security, the safety of content creators, and lingering public trust issues in Kampala’s crime investigations.
Police say inquiries are ongoing and have promised to bring all those responsible to justice.
