Following the news of child battering in Uganda, a two year
old baby was seen tortured and battered by a house maid identified as Jolly
Tumuhirwe, 22 of Rukungiri district.This terrible incident was seen through an
interior securirty camera which Erick Kamanzi the father of the baby victim
fixed in his house,a senior staff of an NGO in Kampala.
The video revealed a breath taking scene where Tumuhirwe was
trying to feed the baby,the baby who was sick as at that time, was experiencing
difficulting in coping with the rough and speedy way she was being fed by the
maid.Tumuhirwe.The house maid then turns to the porridge and started eating
it,but the tot could not contain the stuffed food down her throat,she landed a
hot slap on the baby and baby kissing the floor,she remained there for few
seconds.Then Tumuhirwe using a rechargeable torch hit the baby severally,not
only that she stated kicking the baby and stepping on her back in turns,she
finally gave her last kick which sent her silent and unable to move.Tumuhirwe
then picked the baby like a piece of wood by one hand and vanished into the
next room.
When Kamanzi the father of the baby came home and found some
bruises on the baby,he didn’t ask the maid but went hastily to review the
camera which he had taking long to monitor.As he saw what was done to the baby,
he was ragged to the marrow and pounced on Tumuhirwe as she ran to the police
and reported an assault case against her master.The police swung into
action,arrested him and was dragged to the cell. Kamanzi asked the cops to look
at what made him clobber the maid,a mere look at the video changed the cops
stance and releases kamanzi.
Tumuhirwe was charged under Anti-Toture Act at Nakawa court
but the police is contemplating on revising the charge and upgrade to Attempt
to Murder.Tumuhirwe the house maid was told re-appear in court Dec.8th,2014.
