The case of a woman accused of domestic violence against an elderly woman will return to court on May 1 for the defendant to take her plea.

Prosecution and defence told court Friday last week they will work on the agreed facts and sentencing submissions during the course of adjournment.

Defence also informed court the defendant will take her plea in the next mention date.  

Racheal Ausolo, 41, is charged with one count of domestic violence physical abuse.

According to the police, the incident took place on January 22, 2025, at April Valley.

On that day, Ausolo’s son and his grandmother were allegedly sweeping outside the house when the child began burning mango leaves they had gathered.

The grandmother then told her grandson to stop burning the leaves, which allegedly angered the defendant (the child’s mother) leading to an argument between her and the grandmother.

Police alleged the defendant struck the victim on the back of her left leg with a broom.

Philip Muliungu from Police Prosecution department prosecuting and Bobby Harunari represent the defendant.
