UBUSHINJACYAHA v BAKOMEZA
The court found that Bakomeza Samuel acted with intent to kill Batema Innocent, as shown by the sequence of events, witness statements, and medical evidence of severe head injuries inconsistent with an accident. His inconsistent admissions did not demonstrate genuine remorse or truthfulness, and thus did not justify mitigation. The conviction for murder and life imprisonment was upheld.
