“This lady sometimes would go to that place to maybe get some waragi and then go away. But the people around said that this Christmas season she was sent a new phone by her sister working abroad and she was moving around showing it off to the people she was drinking with that night,” Mr Sendawula said. 
He added: “Maybe that is what attracted the gang to kill her.”
