A Zimbabwean diplomat in Uganda’s marriage has ended in heartache and tragedy after DNA tests revealed that two of his five children were not his. His youngest son, who turned out to be his, lost his life under mysterious circumstances, leading to the arrest of his estranged wife.
Chris Rugari’s
world began falling apart with a phone call from an unidentified man who
claimed he had fathered a child with his wife, Mutesi Joline and wanted to pick
up the child from Rugari’s home. Initially brushing it off as a scam, Rugari
later shared the disturbing calls with Joline, who dismissed them as baseless
attempts to disrupt their family.
Rugari became
suspicious and secretly conducted DNA tests on three of their five children.
The results were devastating—only the firstborn was biologically his. The news
shattered Rugari, who had raised all five as his own. Rugari initiated divorce proceedings.
Matters took a
dramatic turn when the court ordered a government-sanctioned DNA test on all
five children as part of the divorce case. Both legal teams were present as
samples were collected, but tragedy struck the night before the results were
due.
The youngest child, a two-and-a-half-year-old boy, is said to have plunged through a window and lost his life. Initially, family members—including some from Rugari’s side—accepted her explanation that the boy had fallen through a window. But suspicions were raised by a close family friend, who urged police involvement before any burial plans proceeded. This delay agitated Joline, who had reportedly been planning a swift burial. Upon inspection, police discovered that the window from which the child was said to have fallen was permanently shut.
Authorities
requested a DNA test to confirm the child's paternity. The results revealed
that the deceased boy was indeed Rugari’s biological son, only the second of
five children confirmed to be his. Joline is now in custody and expected to
appear in court soon.
Rugari said in
a statement : “I had always been grateful for what I believed was a decent,
faithful, and loving wife, and I was extremely proud of our family. If perhaps
I had died before and went to heaven , the first thing I would have told God
was to say thank you for giving me a wonderful wife .
However, things changed in September 2023 when I made the painful discovery that two out of our three eldest children are not biologically mine. This is when my conflict with Jolin began. So the misleading angle she and her team are working overtime to sell to the public is meant to divert the public from discussing a puzzling issue that has astonished the medical community about how a 2 year old child falls from the first floor of the house , drops himself on hard surface but doesn’t experience any external or internal injuries but dies and you the caretaker , you keep insisting that the cause of death is accident caused by falling even when it’s not possible under science .
Therefore, I
urge the public not to be misled by disinformation and fabricated propaganda
intended to divert “attention from what caused my child’s death. My sole
concern now is uncovering the truth behind this tragedy. Press, I request you
to give me time to mourn because I’m going through so much. In 2023, I had a
happy family of 4 children and a lovely wife. Today , my wife is in prison on
suspicion of murdering her own baby , the DNA has already ruled out that im the
father of two kids, the one who was biologically mine is dead under unclear
circumstances so its not easy. I hope you understand.”
