The strangled body of a rising social media star is found in Kampala, but a neighbor's suspicious behavior has internet sleuths demanding answers.

The vibrant life of 24-year-old Diana Namulinde, known to her legion of fans as "Diana Skys," has ended in a chilling silence. The popular TikToker was found strangled to death in her Kampala apartment, a gruesome crime that has plunged the online community into mourning and confusion. But amidst the grief, sharp questions are being asked about the circumstances of her discovery, specifically the actions of a neighbor who raised the alarm.
Diana, a businesswoman and content creator, was discovered lifeless in her bed on February 4. Police have arrested three suspects, including a security guard at the complex, but public attention has fixated on a neighbor identified as "Shan." Shan claimed she called the police after Diana went offline during a TikTok live session and failed to return for 20 minutes. While this sounds like the concern of a friend, internet detectives are asking: Why call the police so quickly instead of knocking on the door?
In a social media post that has since gone viral, Shan detailed her panic. "She would never go more than 20 minutes offline," she wrote. She claimed calls went unanswered and messages undelivered, prompting her to involve law enforcement. However, fellow TikToker Pinky Vee and thousands of fans find this timeline suspicious. In a secure apartment complex with guards, the leap from "unanswered text" to "calling the police" seems unusually rapid to many.
"Why didn't she check on her?" fans are asking. "How did the killers get past the electric fence and security guards?" The fact that the door was found open adds another layer of mystery. Was it left open by the killer, or was it never locked? The swift arrest of the security guard suggests an inside job, but the role of those closest to her remains a subject of intense speculation.
Diana was buried on Friday in Namayumba-Kyampisi, Wakiso district, in an emotional ceremony attended by hundreds. Videos of her mother and best friend Lydia weeping uncontrollably have broken hearts across East Africa. Yet, as the flowers on her grave settle, the demand for truth is growing louder.
The hashtag #JusticeForDiana is trending, not just as a call for legal retribution, but as a demand for clarity. In the age of social media, everyone is a witness, and the public jury is not yet convinced that the full story has been told.
