Posted by: lukwago J in Uganda news September 11, 2024

The trial of Molly Katanga, accused of the murder of her husband Henry Katanga, resumed at the High Court in Kampala. Police forensic director, Andrew Mubiru, underwent intense scrutiny from defence attorneys regarding his involvement in collecting and analyzing forensic evidence.

During the cross-examination, defence lawyers meticulously analyzed the forensic evidence, particularly DNA samples from both the deceased and the main suspect, Molly Katanga.

To elucidate the connection between the evidence and the alleged murder weapon, Mubiru was presented with a toy pistol for demonstration.

The prosecution argued that evidence gathered from the bedroom indicated a tumultuous domestic dispute, with blood stains discovered on various surfaces such as the ceiling, curtains, floor, and sink.

The presence of Molly Katanga’s DNA in the blood implied she had endured a vicious assault, although these assertions were challenged by the prosecution

The court proceedings adjourned until the next day, Wednesday. While Mrs. Katanga attended virtually from Luzira prison, her daughters Martha Nkwanzi and Patricia Kakwanzi, alongside George Amanyire and Charles Otai, appeared in person as co-accused in the trial, adding layers of complexity to the unfolding legal drama.
