Police in Masaka have arrested 36-year-old Senabulya Daniel, who had been on the run for months after allegedly burning his 16-year-old daughter, Namwanje Faith. The incident took place in April 2025, sparking an intense search that ended on August 11, 2025, when he was found and captured in the Kyanamukaaka area of Masaka District.
The case has left residents shocked, as violence of this nature within a family is both rare and deeply unsettling. Police officials have promised a thorough investigation to ensure that justice is delivered for the young victim. Namwanje Faith is currently receiving medical treatment and emotional support as she recovers from the harrowing ordeal.
Local leaders say the arrest brings a measure of relief to the community, though it also serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to protect children from abuse. Authorities continue to encourage residents to report any signs of violence so swift action can be taken. This incident, they add, underscores the importance of enforcing child protection laws and raising public awareness to prevent such tragedies in the future.
