The Nakawa Chief Magistrate\u2019s Court has committed Jolin Kanoheri  Rugari wife to Zimbabwe\u2019s Honorary Consul in Uganda, Chris  Rugari to the High Court for trial on the charges of  murdering  their two-year-old son, Nganwa Rugari, earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grade One Magistrate ,Frank Namanya, committed Kanoheri to face murder charges and her housemaid Robinah Nabbanja to be charged as accessory after the fact. The allegedly committed the crimes with malice aforethought between April 1st and 2nd 2025 at Mutungo Zone 8, Mutungo Hill of Nakawa Division Kampala District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two women Kanoh\u00e9ri and Nabbanja, will remain on remand at Luzira Prison until their case is scheduled by the High Court for hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the DPP\u2019s evidence, the child was first taken to Kitintale Hospital on April 1st. Although doctors recommended a CT scan to assess internal trauma, Kanoh\u00e9ri reportedly refused to have the scan done, insisting on discharging the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But early the next morning, Kanoh\u00e9ri returned to the hospital with the unresponsive child, who was pronounced already dead on arrival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The postmortem conducted by government pathologists Dr. Moses Byaruhanga and Dr. Richard Ambayo identified the cause of death as asphyxia, caused by the body being deprived of oxygen, causing unconsciousness or death by suffocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Building Review Board dismissed Kanoh\u00e9ri\u2019s claims of the child having fallen out of a window as their forensic engineers found that the window from which the child allegedly fell was intact, difficult to open, and couldn\u2019t have been opened by a two-year-old on its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
