Earlier today journalists were denied access to the home where other mourners were gathered with some expressing mixed reaction;
Meanwhile, Police has confirmed the arrest of four domestic workers at home of Kibuule.
Patrick Onyango the police spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan area says Nalubwama Scovia, 32, Nankunda Peace, Lawrence Kibaya; a shamba boy and Kumanya Agripa ;a security guard are being held under section 227 of the Penal Code which deals with neglect.
Yesterday, minister Kibuule who is deep shock said the twins had been going to the pool under supervision but their mother was away then and it seems the care takers were reluctant and the kids went to the pool by themselves.”
He however noted that when one kid drowned, the second one could have tried to rescue the brother and both ended up in the deep waters.
It is said that the house maid was busy watching television as the twins escaped on their own to the poolside only to drown from the deep end.
