ASP Magid found when the burial was underway and halted it until a post mortem was done.

After killing the victim, she called up her close friend who assisted her to transport the body to Ggwatiro Hospital in Bweyogerere.

On discovering the manner in which the victim faced his death, the doctor declined to render any professional help. Yvonne then took the body back home where she hatched a plan to transport the body to the husband’s village in Zirobwe.

Constance Kisaka, the victim’s mother, said her son was kidnapped from Brosom Nursery and Day Care Centre where he was schooling in Jinja and was informed that he was taken by his father.

She opened up a case at Njeru Police Station, investigations were carried out though the chances of finding the child were futile.

“I tried to search every where for my son but failed miserably because even my husband’s contacts that I previously had were all switched off until when he rang me to call me for the burial of my son. When I asked him what he had died of, simply told me it was due to severe malaria. I was only able to know the truth when the police came and explained the circumstances surrounding his death”, victim’s mother said.

As burial arrangements were being made, announcements were passed on barring anyone from viewing the whole body only the face.
