The Chief Magistrate's Court in Lira has sentenced a 27-Year-Old woman to seven years in prison for intentionally infecting her five-year-old step son with HIV.
Collin Odyek was arrested last year after she willfully and intentionally, knowing that she is HIV positive, used a syringe to draw her blood and injected the minor through his veins while at their home in Ober Kampala, Lira City West Division.
She told the court that she injected the boy to revenge for the way his father Aaron Bua was mistreating her.
Odyek appeared before Samson Lumum Abiti, the Chief Magistrate who sentenced her to seven years in prison.
Abiti argued that despite being the first offender and appearing remorseful, she committed an inhumane act that deserves a deterrent sentence.
