Nanny who battered Ugandan baby asks for forgiveness, explains why she did it

There's absolutely no reason for severely battering a
helpless 18month old but the Nanny who is currently
in prison awaiting trial for attempted murder of baby
Arnella tries to explain why she did it and begs for
forgiveness. She's due in court again on December
8th.
Speaking from Luzira prison, Jolly Tumuhiirwe told
Ugandaonline.net
"My dad in Kabale was very sick and my mom did
not have any money. I asked my bosses for some
money to send to my dad but they told me that I
hadn't made a month yet and my father was dying,
so it kept on haunting me. That is the more reason
I referred the anger to the baby but I'm sorry.
"But that madam (Arnella's mom) is not easy. She
used to say that I steal money from the clothes
and Eric's wallet, I eat the babies food…and yet I
can't eat the food, I'm not a baby, those were all
lies, so, I was also not happy from my heart."
"I feel guilty..ok when I was doing it I thought I was
disciplining the baby because also the mother
sometimes slaps her, I also saw from the mom.
The torch I used was small and it's not hard. I
think, I will never do it again"
Jolly's experience of Prison
"It's not good at all even my fellow prisoners don't
want to associate with me, they want to beat me
up. In fact they were saying that I should join
them in their rooms, nobody likes me and I'm
feeling bad I will never do it again, I ask the world
to forgive me and also tell the bosses who have
maids to treat them well."

when she was beaten by Arnella's father - it has
blood stains. I don't think a man should ever hit a
woman, but I will make an exception in this case )
