A woman has been charged before the Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court with murdering two children and attempting to kill three others in a stabbing incident in Ggaba, Kampala.
Dorris Wamwoyo faces eight charges, including two counts of murder over the deaths of Khadijah Daisy Traore and Mariam Danta Traore.
She is also accused of attempting to murder Aisha Delma Traore, Hawa Dalena Traore and Zainabu Delani Traore.
The other charges include malicious damage to property, arson and attempted suicide.
According to the prosecution, the offences were committed on August 20, 2026, in Kalungu Zone, Gaba Parish, Makindye Division, where Wamwoyo allegedly stabbed the children.
Wamwoyo was not required to enter a plea because murder is a capital offence that falls under the jurisdiction of the High Court.
The court remanded her to Luzira Prison until December 15, 2026, when she is expected to return for further proceedings.
The charges against Wamwoyo remain allegations, and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.
