Following the sudden death of singer Eddy Kenzo's elder brother Mande Hassan Kiwalabye, the Police have come out and confirmed that he was beaten up in a fight with his alleged friend identified as Ronald who's now on the run.
According to the Kampala metropolitan police deputy public relations officer, ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, Mande was involved in a fight with a friend identified as Ronald in which he sustained severe head injuries.
Mande Kiwalabye breathed his last on Friday 21st October 2022 at Platinum Hospital where he was admitted.
Hassan is said to have sustained head injuries in what police described as a “fight” with a friend identified as Ronald on Sunday 16th October 2022.
Ronald is said to have dropped Male off at his house after the beatings and given him painkillers to soothe the agony of his wounds, which were largely on his face.
After Mande informed his sister Beth Namugumya about his deteriorating health state. They approached Eddy Kenzo for financial aid, which he promptly provided.
Mande was eventually admitted to a dental facility along Buganda Road, where doctors discovered that his jaws had been cracked.
It is here that Mande made it known to the medical team that he was assaulted by his friend, Ronald.
“An operation was carried out on the injured area, but his situation worsened. He moved from different hospitals for better care. On Friday (October 21, 2022) Male was taken to Platinum Hospital where he died at about 11 am,” ASP Owoyesigyire disclosed.
