Nanny who battered Ugandan baby asks for forgiveness, explains why she did it

There's absolutely no reason for severely battering a helpless 18month old but the Nanny who is currently in prison awaiting trial for attempted murder of baby Arnella tries to explain why she did it and begs for forgiveness. She's due in court again on December 8th.

Speaking from Luzira prison, Jolly Tumuhiirwe told Ugandaonline.net

“My dad in Kabale was very sick and my mom did not have any money. I asked my bosses for some money to send to my dad but they told me that I hadn’t made a month yet and my father was dying, so it kept on haunting me. That is the more reason I referred the anger to the baby but I’m sorry.

Head of the Hunters has been arrested for Killing Boko Haram?

 #FreeSarkinBaka: By Riot or Revolution
I ask you, what will you do if it was your hometown?
If your brothers or mothers had been so thoroughly let down.
Six whole years;
Six buckets full of tears;
Crippled, orphaned and dead;
Everywhere painted a crimson red!
We live in fear;
Life, no longer dear.
I ask, what will you do if your sisters were abducted as forced concubines;
And the chiefs of staff were seen, billions of looted dollars bloated raising glasses of expensive wines.
If your president danced as bombs blew;
I ask, what will you do?
