The police at Kasangati are investigating the aggravated torture of a 3-year-old girl by the stepmother. 
ASP Luke Owoyesigyire the Deputy PRO KMP says the 3-year-old was allegedly burnt using hot water by her stepmother Jamila Namugerwa, a resident of Bulamu Zone Kasangati Town Council in Wakiso District. 
The incident happened on the 15th of March 2022 at their home in Bulamu. 
Police arrested Namugerwa and the victim’s father Kitimbo Musisi, and both are currently detained at Kasangati Police Station.  
Owoyesigyire says the child has been handed over to the Wakiso Probation Officer, who will look for an appropriate home for the child as they search for guardians.
Police also examined the child and discovered she has healing scars; a sign that shows she was tortured continuously by her parents.
“Severe burn wounds were also seen in her lower body (private area). Physical abuse of children is a crime. We warn all parents and guardians, who beat children to stop the abuses,” says Owoyesigyire.
