40yr-old man sentenced to death for infecting daughter with HIV
The High Court in Kampala has sentenced to death a 40-year-old man for defiling and infecting his daughter with HIV/Aids.
High Court Judge Elizabeth Kibula Kabanda handed Denis Ssebugwaawo the sentence after finding him guilty.
Prosecution said on January 21, 2013 at Kinaawa village in Wakiso District, Ssebugwaawo defiled his 12-year-old daughter.
“I am convinced that the prosecution has proved every ingredient of the offence of aggravated defilement beyond reasonable doubt. Looking at the evidence of the medical examination of the victim together with the convict’s plain denial that he knew the victim was defiled, I take it that his defence is utter lies,” Justice Kabanda said.
