“Investigations have shown that Nanono Farida a resident of Kifamba locked her two children Babirye Nabaka, 4, and Ssembatya Karim, 2 in her single room to go fetch water.

Unfortunately, a fire started and the two children were burnt beyond recognition,” said Owoyesigyire.

Their remains have been conveyed to city mortuary Mulago as investigations go on.

Incidents of fire are on a rise lately. These fires began soon after schools nationwide were reopened on January 10. Fires subsequently blazed through schools in Kampala, Kyotera, Wakiso, Kamuli, and Mayuge districts. About five children have lost their lives.
