Police have cleared a one Dr. Igeme Katagwa, who was accused by his wife of being a homosexual and molesting their two children.
According to police, the Director of Public Prosecution dropped the case files in which Sarah Nalwoga Igeme accused her husband Dr. Igeme Katagwa of aggravated defilement and sodomy of their two children, a boy aged 15 and a girl aged 13, because they were malicious and fabricated.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga said that the directorate of CID has been investigating this matter and that the facts gathered indicate that around March, 2021, a one Sarah Nalwoga Igeme, a wife to Dr. Igeme Katagwa, accused her husband, whom she claims is gay, for sexually molesting both their daughter and son.
As a result, the mother, father and children were interviewed by a specialist CID team trained to investigate incidents of child sexual abuse.
He revealed that the two children were temporarily separated from their parents, placed under a neutral home and a counsellor was attached to them for psychosocial counselling services for the entire period, away from their home in Ssekiwanga village, in Bwebajja.
Mr. Enanga said from the interviews and findings, the counsellor did not find any signs of physical or sexual abuse, but she indicated that they had signs of psychological torture, as a result of abuse from their mother.
The victims were also examined by doctors at Mulago National Referral Hospital, and none of them found any evidence of alleged physical and sexual abuse.
Police pointed out that the allegations by the woman and mother to the two children were therefore, established to be wrongful and maliciously sought, to throw the father of her children in prison, and thereby gain all power over their children and property. END
