Mother arrested for beheading her two-month-old baby girl

“Preliminary investigations indicate that Nakazibwe has been working as a waitress at a pork joint commonly known as Kafunda at Bulaga trading centre. After the heinous act, Nakazibwe also cut herself but the residents alerted local leaders and police who responded in time,” he said, adding that the body of the deceased was taken to city mortuary Mulago hospital for post mortem.

Bulaga police have since embarked on investigations to unearth whatever could have triggered Nakazibwe to kill her own child.

Nakazibwe was rushed to Family Clinic at Bulaga trading centre where she is nursing wounds she sustained while attempting to commit suicide.

Detectives recovered among other exhibits from the scene of crime; two pangas and one knife all with bloodstains.

This incident comes a few days after another mother, Juliet Naggayi allegedly dumped her nine-year-old son in the swamp on Sunday night.

Naggayi allegedly picked her son (Lukwago) while he was sleeping and threw him in a swamp. He was however rescued by passers-by.

Deputy police spokesperson, Polly Namaye, said Naggayi filed a case of disappearance at Kabumbi police and also informed her husband that the child had gone missing.

However, after being rescued, Lukwago revealed that it was his mother who dumped him in the swamp. The boy explained that he survived drowning because he held himself on the grass.

“The child was discovered at Kabulengwa zone - not far from their home - and he narrated how he managed to escape drowning by holding on to the grass in the swamp. The mother is now under detention as investigations continue,” Ms Namaye said.
