Police in Napak District are investigating a suspected murder after a man allegedly assaulted his two children, killing his two-year-old daughter and seriously injuring his five-year-old son following a domestic dispute.
The incident happened at around midnight on September 20, 2026, in Kalopidinga Village, Namendera Parish, Iriiri Sub-county.
Police identified the suspect as 35-year-old Logiro Daniel, a peasant and resident of the area. He allegedly became violent after asking his wife, 23-year-old Mudong Christine, what food she had prepared for the children.
According to police, Christine told him there was no food, prompting him to allegedly assault her before turning on the children. She reportedly fled to her mother’s home.
When Christine returned at about 6 a.m. with her mother, she allegedly found her daughter, Adyaka Anna Grace, dead and her five-year-old son, Lokut Israel, seriously injured.
The matter was reported to local leaders before being taken to Iriiri Police Station, where a murder case was opened.
Police visited and documented the scene, recorded statements and issued a PF3 medical form for the injured child, who is receiving treatment at Iriiri Health Centre III. The deceased child's body was taken for a postmortem examination.
The suspect reportedly fled the area and police are pursuing efforts to locate and arrest him.
Mt Moroto and Karamoja North Regional Police spokesperson Mike Longole condemned the incident and urged communities to report domestic violence early.
