The suspect, identified as Nankunda Esther, is a resident of Kanaala Zone, Mutundwe Parish in Bunamwaya Division, Wakiso District. The victim, whose identity has been withheld for protection, is a 10-year-old Primary Four pupil. It is alleged that the child had been left in the suspect\u2019s care by her brother. According to police spokesperson Racheal Kawala, preliminary findings indicate that on Eid Day at around 5:00 p.m., the suspect allegedly burned the child\u2019s hands using a heated white polythene bag, accusing the victim of stealing 100,000 Ugandan shillings. The child has since been rescued and taken to hospital for medical examination and treatment. Kawala added that witness statements have been recorded, and the case file has been forwarded to the Resident State Attorney for further guidance. The suspect remains in custody at Nateete Police Station. \u201cWe strongly condemn acts of child abuse and torture,\u201d Kawala said."}
