An illegal connection has led to the death of a 38 year old woman and her one and half year old daughter.

 

Zawedde Edith and her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Abigail Muwanguzi Nalubega met their death on Saturday, 25th October, 2025 at Kikonda B Village, Nsambya Sub County in Kyankwanzi District.

 

According to the Police Spokesperson, ACP Kituuma Rusoke, the fatal incident happened on the night of 25th October 2025 at around 11:00PM.

 

He says Police and homicide detectives responded promptly, registering the case after visiting the scene.

 

The investigation revealed the mother and daughter were found lying on the floor beside a bed, with an electric flat iron between them.

 

“Preliminary investigations revealed an illegal power connection in the house. We urge the public to always use certified electricians for electrical installations,” says Kituuma adding that illegally connecting others to the power grid, resulting in such tragic losses, is a serious offence punishable by law.
