The court found that Ndabazi Evariste intentionally killed his wife by striking her on the head with a hoe, a deadly weapon, resulting in her death the next day. There was no credible evidence of provocation, and the gravity and brutality of the offence justified upholding the life sentence.

The sentence of 18 years' imprisonment was deemed appropriate and sufficiently mitigated given the circumstances and remorse shown; no further reduction was warranted.
