According to Kasasira, Nasanga strangled Kamidah Nasanga on Saturday. He says that Nasanga said that she was possessed and was forced by the evil spirits from her late aunt, also identified as Beatrice Nasanga to kill the baby, because she wants her to be like her since she did not produce children.
She claims she was out of her mind and did not even know how she got to the police station,following her arrest.
Now, Kasasira says the suspect will be taken for mental check up to ascertain whether she is mentally stable, before she can be formally charged with murder.
The body of the deceased was meanwhile taken to Mbarara referral hospital for postmortem.
