Shocking new details have emerged about the life and death of David Mutaaga and his wife Deborah, the elderly couple gruesomely murdered in their Entebbe mansion on July 6, 2025. Turns out, they were sitting on a fortune after selling their Mansion in Switzerland.
According to sources close to the family, David Mutaaga, a renowned Ugandan tech brain, had spent decades working with top European institutions such as Credit Suisse First Boston, Swissline, UBS, and Swisscom, eventually raking in a staggering salary of over Shs 220 million per month (yes, monthly), and climbing the ranks to become Vice President at Credit Suisse.
By the time he returned home to Uganda earlier this year, the man had allegedly saved over Shs 20 billion in earnings and retirement benefits. And that’s not just old money — it’s fresh, Swiss-clean, and fully liquid.
From Swiss Wealth to Ugandan Tragedy
Before their return, the couple sold their Zurich home for Shs 3.5 billion, which they swiftly reinvested into building a lavish mansion in Entebbe — all within a jaw-dropping three months. That’s how fast they moved. But their dream retirement turned into a nightmare when unknown assailants invaded their new home and stabbed them to death in cold blood.
Now, suspicion is swirling around internal family disputes. It’s alleged that David had blocked attempts by relatives to sell off ancestral land, igniting major tensions. Police have confirmed that the CCTV footage captured a suspect directly addressing Deborah by name, ominously saying:
“Deborah, do you think it’s only you with children? I’ve come to kill you and nothing will stop me.”
That sounds very personal.
Family Too Scared to Attend Burial
The Mutaagas were buried over the weekend at their ancestral home in Nagalabi/Budo, Wakiso, but in a heartbreaking twist, their own children did not attend — citing security concerns and fear for their lives. Imagine having to mourn your parents in hiding.
Investigations are still underway, but this case is now much bigger than a simple break-in. With billions in the picture, a history of family land wrangles, and their killer(s) appearing to be someone close — police are working with chilling precision to untangle what really happened.
