A postmortem examination revealed that the deceased was strangled and had not been defiled.
Further investigations suggest that the suspect was motivated by envy and a suspicion that her husband, Katete Paul, was involved in the death of her one-month-old son in December 2024.
The police are continuing their investigations into the matter. The arrest of Tibeita Teddy brings some measure of relief to the community, but the incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for vigilance and protection of vulnerable members of society.
