Magistrate halts session to fundraise for defiled toddler

Kayunga Grade One Magistrate Faridah Ikimaana on September 16 halted court proceedings in a defilement case of a two-year-old and started a fundraising campaign to raise the medical fees.

This was after the victim of the aggravated defilement (name withheld) had started passing stool from her private parts.

The call was made after the suspect, Mr Kassim Katende,18, a resident of Buyobe Village in Kayunga Sub-county, Kayunga District, was charged with aggravated defilement.

As the charges were being read to Katende, the fully-packed court room was thrown into sorrow amid anguish with attendees, mostly witnesses, relatives of accused persons, prison warders, and prisoners shaking their heads in disbelief.

“You are accused of defiling a two-year-old girl in August this year but this court cannot hear your case because it is of a capital nature, you will be taken to the High Court when investigations in the case are complete,” Ms Ikimaana told Mr Katende.
