During an interview on 11-Feb-2025 with Baiti Kevin, mother of the twins, she expressed frustration and pain over how the police at Manibe, which is the central police station for Ayivu East Constituency police station, are handling the case regarding her life and her killed child.

“My husband became rowdy and started a quarrel and fight with me and my children at home. He started strangling me, and when I ran away, he decided to burn the other twin using hot water “, Kevin painfully stated.

She added that, instead of the police hunting for the suspect who is on the run, they decided to advise her to look for money and travel back to Moyo District, where she came from, something the same relative of her husband advised her to leave before she gets murdered by her husband.

The deputy RCC in charge of Ayivu Division (Ayivu East and Ayivu West), Mr Godfrey Jonah Mbigitti, who condemned the murder of one of the twins, advised the public not to take the law into their hands.

He affirmed their efforts as the security to serve Justice for the miserable woman, Bayitiyo Kevin, who has been undergoing continuous mistreatment, abuse, and torture at the hands of Titia Ismail.

In the past few days, Bayitiyo Kevin has been sleeping outside at Zawadi Bus Park until Monday, 10-Feb-2025, when a well-wisher took her to a temporary shelter and feeding with her children within Arua City, awaiting support and the next steps.

Our efforts to get a comment from the Ayivu East police department on why they preferred the “Assault” case instead of the “Murder” case were futile as our repeated phone calls on Tuesday afternoon weren't answered.

Stay tuned here as #Information_is_Power follows the case.
