Kaftah Queen, 18, one of the people who were filmed harassing and torturing their colleague accusing her of trying to “steal” her boyfriend has been charged and remanded to Luzira prison.
Kaftah who is a Tanzanian national and a student of Trinity College Nabweru has appeared before Kira Magistrates Court’s Nyadoi Esther who did not allow her to say anything about one capital offence of aggravated torture.

Upon conviction, Queen Kafta may face life imprisonment which is the maximum penalty for aggravated torture.
Kaftah was remanded to Luzira prison until January 31, 2023 when she'll return to court for further mention of the case.
