Two people have been arrested in Uganda on human-trafficking charges following the death of a Ugandan woman in Jordan, apparently after her kidneys were removed, police are quoted by local media as saying.

Juliet Nakiyimba, said to be a 31-year-old mother of five, died in Jordan's capital, Amman, on 4 September, and her body was repatriated to Uganda on 24 September.

"The post-mortem reports confirmed that the deceased’s kidneys had been removed - a condition that may have resulted in her sudden death,” the police were quoted as saying.
