COURT (UGNEWSLINE) – A 43-year-old Kenyan woman accused of killing two of her children and trying to take the lives of three others has been sent to Luzira Prison pending further investigations.
Dorris Wamwoyo appeared before Makindye Chief Magistrate Aidah Nanjala on Friday, where she was charged with eight offences arising from an incident that allegedly happened at her home in Ggaba, Kampala.
The magistrate did not allow her to plead to the charges because the court lacks the legal authority to hear murder cases.
Prosecution alleges that on August 20, 2026, Wamwoyo killed two children, Khadija Daisy Traore and Danita Mariam Traore, at Kalungu-Godoz Village in Ggaba Parish, Makindye Division.
She is further accused of attempting to kill three other children, identified as Delma Aisha Traore, Delani Zainabu Traore and Dalena Hawa Traore.
The other charges relate to allegedly setting fire to a house belonging to Idris Traore, damaging his Toyota Hiace omnibus registration number UA 140DC and attempting suicide by stabbing herself.
Wamwoyo, who is a housewife and resident of the same village, faces two counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, arson, malicious damage to property and attempted suicide.
She was remanded until December 15, 2026, as investigations continue. She is expected to face trial before a court legally empowered to handle the offences.
