Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Police in Soroti City are holding a woman on suspicion of killing her one-year-old son.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s alleged that Rehema Taku, a resident of Cell B2 in Campswahili ward, East Division, in Soroti City, bashed Salim Nasu\u2019s head on the stone leading to his death.<\/p>\n

Taku reportedly had a misunderstanding with her husband whom she accused of engaging in multiple extramarital affairs.<\/p>\n

East Kyoga regional Police Spokesperson SP Ageca Oscar Gregg said the suspect will be subjected to mental stability tests as part of police investigations before she is arraigned in court.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are investigating a Friday night case of murder by assault of a one-and-a-half-year-old baby Salim Nasu, by his biological mother Rehema Taku,\u201d SP Ageca said.<\/p>\n

According to him, preliminary investigations into the murder indicate that at towards midnight, the baby started crying uncontrollably- prompting the mother to move out with the baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter a short while, she returned into the house. Immediately after the baby cried again,, she went outside and started bashing the baby’s head against a stone leading the boy\u2019s death. She was restrained and police consequently informed of the incident,\u201d the police spokesperson told journalists on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The crime scene was visited by police officers attached to Soroti East division who registered the offense vide CRB 197\/2024.<\/p>\n

The body was taken to Soroti City Regional Referral Hospital pending post-mortem.<\/p>\n
