MBALE, UGANDA – The Ugandan entertainment community is in mourning following the shocking and tragic deaths of popular Mbale-based MC, Imran Wanambwa, widely known by his stage name MC Garvin, and his girlfriend. The couple was found lifeless in what authorities are investigating as an apparent murder-suicide stemming from a domestic dispute.
According to police reports, the grim discovery was made earlier this week. Preliminary investigations indicate that a violent altercation took place between Wanambwa and his partner. It is believed the girlfriend stabbed the renowned MC before subsequently taking her own life.
While the investigation is ongoing, initial accounts from friends and preliminary police findings suggest that the couple was embroiled in a heated argument over allegations of infidelity. This argument is said to have escalated drastically, culminating in the irreversible and tragic outcome that has left the community reeling.
MC Garvin was a well-known and vibrant figure in the local entertainment scene, frequently hosting events, concerts, and nights across the Mbale region. His sudden and violent death has sent waves of grief and disbelief through his fanbase and fellow entertainers, who remember him for his energetic stage presence and talent.
In the wake of this incident, local authorities are using this tragedy to issue a stern and urgent plea to the public. They are urging individuals in relationships to seek non-violent methods of resolving conflicts.
A statement from the regional police spokesperson emphasized, “This is a heartbreaking incident that should never have happened. We urge all couples and families to find peaceful ways to solve their misunderstandings. Violence is never a solution. There are always other avenues, including seeking counsel from elders, community leaders, or professional services. Let this terrible event be a lesson to us all to choose dialogue over violence.”
The police have confirmed that investigations are continuing to piece together the exact sequence of events that led to this devastating loss of life.
