Police at Kira Road station is holding 21 year old Jackline Namuyonja for allegedly dumping her new born baby girl in a pit latrine<\/p>\n
At 6.30am in Mulimila Zone, Police Fire Bridage and Rescue Services retrieved the body of the newly born baby out of the pit latrine.<\/p>\n
Its mother had tied it onto a stone, probably to give it enough weight to sink deep into the 30metre deep pit.<\/p>\n
She didn’t reveal to Police her reasons behind such a heinous crime even as she appeared remorseful.<\/p>\n
Police said the incident came to light after the neighbours and her landlord heard the loud cry of the baby and grew suspicious, and called the area police.<\/p>\n
Kampala Metropolitan Police Spokesperson Luke Owoyesigyire said such an act is unbearable that a parent who should be assuming full parental responsibilities could turn against her own child.<\/p>\n
“Every born child has a right to live, what the young mother did is a criminal offence, such acts are unacceptable and we cannot tolerate them,” he said.<\/p>\n
She is currently detained at Kira Road Police Station as investigation into the matter proceed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
