High Court in Kampala is in session today to deliver its judgment in the murder trial against three people charged for the death of city businessman Eriya Ssebunnya Bugembe also known as Kasiwukira.

Today’s verdict will determine the fate of the deceased’s widow Sarah Nabikolo, her sister Sandra Nakkungu and a police officer, Jayden Ashraf.

Trial judge Wilson Masalu Musene who has been hearing the case for the last nine months is expected to read out his judgment court having started at 9:30am.

Last month, city tycoon Godfrey Kirumira was accused of influence peddling in the trial of the murder of his colleague, Kasiwukira.

Mr Kirumira’s name came up in court when one of the suspects, Jaden, while giving his defence, said the businessman promised him Shs200m, a house and a good rank in the police force if he agreed to pin Ms Nabikolo over the murder of her husband.

 

ABOUT THE MURDER CASE

Particulars of the case state that Kasiwukira was run over by a car while he was jogging in the morning on October 17, 2014, on the road near his home in Muyenga, a Kampala suburb.

Police dismissed preliminary claims that Kasiwukira’s killing was accidental.

Inspector General of Police Kale Kayihura ordered thorough investigations whose findings pointed to murder. The investigations implicated the widow and other family members and business partners.

The summary of evidence by the prosecution alleged that the businessman was murdered by his widow after the deceased had brought home evil spirits locally called mayembe that demanded ritual sacrifice which would involve killing either his wife or her children.
