Jolly Tumuhairwe, the house maid who was captured on CCTV camera torturing a one and half year old baby left in her care in Naalya has been sentenced to four years in prison.
The ‘monster maid’ who appeared before Chief Magistrate Lillian Bucyana at Buganda road court this morning, was given a four year term in Luzira prison after she pleaded guilty and apologized to the parents of the child.
Ms Tumuhiirwe had earlier told court that her bosses especially the baby’s mother assaulted her on several occasions something that forced her to transfer the anger unto the innocent baby. However the Chief Magistrate said that Tumuhiirwe’s reason for assaulting the innocent, young and helpless child was not justifiable and thus sentenced her to a four year jail term in prison.
The parents of the tortured child revealed that they were satisfied with the court ruling when contacted to give a comment adding that they are happy since their child is in a healthy condition.
