MOTHER JAILED FOR LIFE AFTER MURDERING BABY DAUGHTER

Sarah Ngaba has been sentenced to life imprisonment following her conviction for the murder of her daughter, Eliza Ngaba. Ngaba, aged 32, admitted to inflicting severe head injuries on the child that caused permanent, life-limiting damage. The injuries sustained by Eliza Ngaba were described in court as dreadful and life-shortening.

The case involved circumstances indicating callousness on Ngaba's part during the period surrounding the child's hospitalisation. Ngaba stopped to purchase a lottery ticket before taking her injured daughter to hospital for treatment. The head injuries inflicted on Eliza Ngaba included a fractured skull. Evidence presented during proceedings established the severity and deliberate nature of the harm caused.

Ngaba received a life sentence with a minimum custodial term of 12 years before she becomes eligible for parole consideration. The conviction followed her admission to causing the catastrophic injuries to her daughter. The sentencing concludes the criminal proceedings against Ngaba in connection with Eliza Ngaba's death.
