The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Nakawa Chief Magistrates Court has remanded Kanoheri Jolin Rugari, wife to Zimbabwe’s Honorary Consul in Uganda, Chris Rugari, to Luzira prison on charges of murdering their two-year-old son.
Kanoheri was on Friday arraigned before the Court presided over by Grade One Magistrate Frank Namanya and charged with the murder of Rugari Nganwa.
She was charged alongside her 24-year-old housemaid, Robinah Nabanjja.
Prosecution states that between the 1st and 2nd April 2025, at Mutungo Zone eight, in Nakawa division, with malice aforethought, Kanoheri killed Nganwa. Nabanjja is charged with being an accessory after the commission of murder.
Investigations so far state that Kanoheri had concealed Nganwa’s death as an accidental fall through a widow on top of the family’s storied house.
Koneheri was not allowed to plead to the offence of murder, which is triable by the High Court.
State Attorney Mahatma Odongo has reported to the Court that the investigations are incomplete.
Kanoheri shed tears as she was being remanded. She also shouted that she could not have murdered her child, saying the truth would come out.
The two were remanded to Luzira prison until May 6th.

What was your state of mind at the time whatever happened happened
The story always runs that you are assessed for ability to know where you ,who you are and when you are
In this case has it happened?
Just failing to understand the act and the voice and the stories all wrapped by the likeliness of mother and child in the pictures
The equation does not seem to balance
There is atale rale piece some where where care the psychologists
Under which of the four categories of Filicide does this case fall
If an assessment has been made it is not explicit?
