“”We have in our custody musician Patrick Mulwana, alias Alien Skin, whom we have apprehended on allegations of assaulting medical staff of Nsambya Hospital. More details to be shared later,” police spokesperson, Kituuma Rusoke said.

According to police, the hospital on Tuesday night received a one Joram Tumwesigye, 28, a resident of Makindye Division, Kampala District with severe injuries.
“Tumwesigye was brought in by six unidentified individuals. Unfortunately, the victim was pronounced dead approximately an hour after admission. Following the victim’s death, one individual, identified by witnesses as “Alien Skin,” allegedly demanded medical forms from the attending doctor. When his demands were not met, the suspect and his group reportedly assaulted the doctor and the two security guards before fleeing the scene,” ASP Owoyesigyire said in a Wednesday morning statement.
He identified the victims as Dr Zaidi Matovu, Anthony Muyanda and Alex Odongo both, security guards employed at Nsambya Hospital.
