Mother attempts to murder her 3 children

The incident involves the attempted murder of three children by the suspect (the mother), identified as Jennifer Namubiru.

According to reports, Jennifer Namubiru, a housewife, allegedly set fire to her household property with the intent of killing her three children, ages 7, 6, and 2. The children were locked inside the house as the fire spread, but their cries for help alerted neighbours, who rushed to their rescue. The children were unharmed at the time of the rescue, and the fire was extinguished before it could spread to neighbouring homes.

Preliminary investigations reveal that Jennifer Namubiru had been involved in long-standing domestic violence issues with her husband, Bululu Moses. The domestic violence matter had been previously addressed by local leaders and was under investigation by the Police under the Child and Family Protection Unit in Kisugu.

The Kisugu Police Station received a report of the incident, and a team of officers promptly responded to the scene. Additionally, the Fire Prevention and Rescue Services from Kabalagala were called to ensure the safety of the victims and prevent further damage.

The local community leaders and the landlady were interviewed to establish the facts surrounding the incident.

Investigations have revealed that Jennifer Namubiru gathered the household belongings, ignited a fire, and locked her children inside the burning house, seemingly with the intention to end their lives.

The Kabalagala Police Division is actively investigating the case, and efforts are underway to locate and apprehend Jennifer Namubiru for prosecution. The police urge anyone with relevant information to come forward and assist in the ongoing investigation.
