In a tragic turn of events, Ugandan police have arrested Mutesi Joline, the wife of Zimbabwe's Consular General in Uganda, over the alleged murder of their two-year-old son, Nganwa Rugari.
The incident occurred amid ongoing divorce proceedings and a court-ordered DNA test that revealed two of their five children were not biologically related to the diplomat.
On the night of April 1, 2025, Nganwa reportedly fell from the first floor of their family home in Mutungo Zone 8, Kampala. He was taken to Kitintale Hospital, where he was examined and prescribed a CT scan but was not admitted.
Tragically, he was pronounced dead upon arrival when brought back to the hospital the following morning. Investigations revealed inconsistencies in Mutesi's account of the events.
Police noted that the window from which the child allegedly fell was shut, its lock intact, and lacked burglar bars. A post-mortem examination showed no visible physical injuries on the child's body.
These discrepancies led to Mutesi's arrest as authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the child's death.
The case has garnered significant public attention, highlighting the complexities of familial disputes and the importance of thorough investigations in such sensitive matters
