Police in Entebbe over the weekend arrested a male intern nurse at Entebbe Grade B hospital, a government facility for allegedly raping women, mostly of whom were pregnant.
According to ASP Luke Owoyesigyire, Denis Kutesa was arrested over allegations of rape and attempted rape on two female patients at the hospital.
ASP Owoyesigyire says according to the allegations, the suspect identified his victims from the gynaecology ward and then drugged them using a substance suspected to be chloroform before raping them.
Independent information indicated last evening that the nurse always targeted women, mostly those who are pregnant and had gone to seek gynecology services at the government hospital in Entebbe.
It is said the suspect would tell the women who had come for gynecology services that he had a special procedure that he wanted to operate on them and this could only be done when they are unconscious.
According to police, the arrest of the nurse came after one of the pregnant women refused to take the special procedure that he wanted to subject her though another had reported a rape case at Entebbe Police.
When the male nurse was eventually arrested, a search inside his house saw police recover a bottle suspected to contain chloroform.
Also recovered is a letter that Kutesa wrote to a prominent pastor in Kampala seeking for prayers so as he can abandon the vice of raping patients whom the suspect agreed to have lured into forced sex. END
