But could be blamed on the parent for being careless which end result has cost the life of the toddler,\u201d Mr Semewo said.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased child identified as Mariam Nabwire, was in the house on Tuesday afternoon when a phone battery that was connected directly to a solar panel exploded. The mother had reportedly gone to Pallisa Town to mill rice.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbours attempted to rescue the child who had been asleep but it was too late.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Semewo said the baby got burnt to death beyond recognition. A case of arson was registered by police and statements recorded from the child\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n<p>According to police, burnt battery wires and lamp holders were recovered in the house.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe parent of the child takes the blame for this tragedy because she irresponsibly caused the death of the minor. Parents should learn and careful especially those who cook inside their houses to avoid such incidences,\u201d Mr Joseph Omaligat, a resident said.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Ronald Kolere, the Kasodo LC3 chairperson, said that the entire village was thrown into total shock and grief because such an incident had never happened in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to caution people to be more responsible to avoid such occurrence of this nature. This kind of negligence is totally unacceptable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
