INFANTICIDE
Elsewhere, a court directed that a woman suspected of killing her seven-month old daughter be detained for three days to allow police complete investigation.
Senior resident magistrate Irene Ruguru ordered Pauline Nagulabu Nangolebei who is faced with a charge of infanticide of her seven-month old child be remanded at Changamwe Police Station to allow police conclude their investigations.
Police Constable Edward Chepsergon appeared before Ms Ruguru and sworn affidavit seeking the trial court to give him more time to investigate Ms Pauline over allegation of using kerosene to kill her daughter.
“We pray to have the suspect remanded at Changamwe police station for three days to complete investigation into allegation that she killed her daughter,” said Mr Chepsergon.
While granting the prayers, Ms Ruguru directed police to remand the suspect until Friday when she is expected to be brought back to the court for police to prefer charges against her.
