Maid Jailed 4 Years For Feeding Her Employer’s Baby With Urine And Infected Her With Syphilis

A Ugandan househelp has been sentenced for feeding her boss’s baby with her urine.

Vicky Abiria was sentenced to four years imprisonment by Kira division court on Friday, December 11 after she was found guilty by the court.

The mother of the baby, Hope Chica, told the police that she got suspicious after noticing that Abira had kept the baby’s bottle packed with urine in her bedroom and upon interrogation, the maid confessed that she was feeding the baby urine.

“I found my baby’s bottle full of urine and when I asked her she confessed that she was feeding my baby with her urine,” she said.

Chica also revealed that her baby was diagnosed of syphilis after she went to the hospital.

“When I took my daughter to the hospital, the doctors found out that my baby had syphilis. I am now trying to treat my child and make sure that she doesn’t get other complications.”

She further said that she always saw these kinds of acts on social media and television and didn’t really think that they were true.

“I have always heard that house helps do these kinds of things, now that it has happened to my child, I even fear maids. I don’t ever want to hire one. I have always treated this girl well but I don’t know why she decided to do such a thing,” she said.

Kampala Metropolitan Police (KMP) Spokesperson Patrick Onyango had on Thursday, December 10, confirmed that they arrested Abira and charged her with spreading dangerous diseases after tests on the child proved that it had been infected by a urinary tract infection.
