Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court has charged Dorris Wamwoyo with the murder of her two children and attempting to kill three other people in connection with a stabbing incident in Gaba, Kampala.
Wamwoyo faces eight criminal charges, including the murder of Khadijah Daisy Traore and Mariam Danta Traore.
She is further accused of attempting to murder Aisha Delma Traore, Hawa Dalena Traore and Zainabu Delani Traore.
The prosecution also brought charges of malicious damage to property, arson and attempted suicide against her.
The charges arise from an incident alleged to have occurred on August 20, 2026, in Kalungu Zone, Gaba Parish, Makindye Division, where Wamwoyo is accused of stabbing the children.
She was presented before the Makindye court but did not take plea because the murder charges are capital offences that are tried by the High Court.
The court subsequently ordered that she be remanded to Luzira Prison until December 15, 2026, for further mention of the case.
Wamwoyo remains on remand as the case proceeds through the court system.
