The assault happened after the 2-year-old, seen being shoved off the couch in her family home in Uganda, was sick while being fed a meal by her nanny, Jolly Tumuhiirwe

A nanny in Uganda is in police custody after been caught on video kicking and stomping a child after the 2-year-old was sick while eating dinner.

The nanny, named locally as Jolly Tumuhiirwe, 22, was taken into custody after Aneela Kamanzi's father, Erick Kamanzi, discovered bruises on his daughter.

Instead of confronting the nanny, Kamanzi was said to have viewed security cameras installed in the family home where he watched in horror as Tumuhiirwe dragged his daughter on to the floor before attacking her.

Tumuhiirwe, 22, is seen standing on Aneela's back, applying all of her weight

Initially reports suggested Aneela had died as a result of the assault on November 15, but investigators said she was alive and recovering from her injuries.   

Kamanzi is then said to have beaten Tumuhiirwe 'to a pulp'. She later reported the assault to police and Kamanzi was arrested after admitting he had attacked her. 

But after showing police the security tapes of the assault on Aneela, the charges against Kamanzi, who works for an NGO in Kampala, were dropped. 

Tumuhiirwe, who had been working for the family for three month, has been charged under the Anti-torture Act and has appeared in the Nakawa Court.

Police are considering upgrading the charge against Tumuhiirwe to attempted murder, the Afro Cosmopolitan reports.  

Tumuhiirwe is due to re-appear in court on December 8.
