The evidence of the prosecution witnesses can be summarized as follows: \par \par The deceased, Robinah Erina Kayaga Kiyingi was the wife of Dr Aggrey Kiyingi (A1). The two met while they were in High Schools in Gayaza High School and King\rquote s College Budo respectively. They later on met at Makerere University where they cemented their relationship and eventually married and wedded in 1977. The said marriage had several children two of whom took to their parents\rquote professions thereby becoming a lawyer and doctor respectively, after sometime the marriage fell on the rock with irreconcilable misunderstandings and differences. Consequently the deceased was forced to leave Australia where they had relocated, to set up her private legal practice in Kampala. The deceased was occupying the family residence at Buziga according to the evidence of Dr Kasirye Alemu (PW2). While Dr Kiyingi (A1) who had virtually deserted her, remained in A ustralia with most of the children. According to Alemu (PW2), the deceased and the Dr Kiyingi remained on bad terms until the time of her death. According to PW2, PW11 and PW12 life in the family was characterized by witch hunting, quarrels, fights, thr eats, abuses, neglect and eventual desertion. \par \par At one point Dr Kiyingi plotted through his uncle, one Laban Kiwanuka to kill the deceased and the matter is still pending in Buganda Road Court. Another plot was when he requested his housemaid Nabossa Prossy (PW13) to help in killing the deceased, a request she turned down on the strength that she was a born again Christian. That was in 2003. \par \par After the death of the deceased, the police put an advert requesting for information leading to arrest of the killer s. Subsequently one Nasuna Sadha (PW4) gave information that she had been in contact with one private Atwine who had narrated to her how the death of the deceased was planned by Dr Kiyingi (A1), coordinated by Charles Berwanaho (A2) and executed by himse l f (Atwine) with the help of one Bernard using a gun provided by bob Mugisha (A3). From that information the police arrested the late Atwine from the home of one Nicholas Musiime (PW1). Nicholas Musiime also confirmed that the late Atwine used to stay wi th him and that Atwine was on a mission of killing the deceased. After tallying the information, police arrested the three accused persons. Nasuna Sadha (PW4) testified that the late Atwine talked to Dr Kiyingi on her phone. \par \par Dr Andrew Simbwa Kibuka Kiyin gi (PW10) and Samali Recho Biyinzika Nakagulire Kiyingi (PW12) who were both children of the couple testified that soon after receipt of information about the death of the deceased they knew it was their father Dr Kiyingi who had had a hand in it because o f his past threats and also because during that trying time their father never consoled and comforted them and neither showed any sense of mourning even during the funeral services. He was cold, reserved and never talked about the deceased during his spe e ch. The evidence of police officer D/Sgt. Turyasingura David (PW5) was to the effect that when he saw police advert, requesting for information about the death of the deceased and made comments that it was bad for Dr Kiyingi to kill his wife, Bob Mugisha

(A3) told him that he knew the killers of the deceased. When he pressed him (A3) to divulge more light, he declined saying that the family of Dr Kiyingi were very rich and would kill him if they knew about his revelation. D/Constable Ahimbisibwe also tes t ified that sometimes in May 2005 Bob Mugisha (A3) received a call and later on told them that there was a friend of his living abroad who had a girlfriend in Uganda who had conned him and wanted him to help in killing her and that the mission was to cost shs.50 million. He further testified that on 12}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 th}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 July 2005 when he was at old Kampala police station two men came looking for Bob Mugisha (A3). When A3 was arrested, he was surprised to see on 23-7-2005 the photograph of one of the two men he had seen lo oking for him at old Kampala as one of the suspects in the killing of Robinah Kiyingi. \par \par After the death of the deceased Dr William Male Mutumba (PW7) performed post mortem examination on the body where he established that the deceased died of multiple guns hot injuries that resulted in severe laceration of the brain, lungs and heart. He observed that the three organs were interdependent such that if one of them was affected or ceased to function, the functions of the other two would also lapse. \par \par Four key police officers who investigated the case testified before }{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Court:}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8), D/SP Aisu Victor (PW15), D/IP Katungi, (PW21) and D/C Sakwa (PW23). \par \par D/Sgt Karugaba and D/IP Katungi were the two officers who were at the centre of the investigations. They went to the scene and recovered some exhibits, some of which were submitted for forensic examinations. Their evidence was that the death of the decease had been planned by Dr Kiyingi coordinated by Berwanaho (A2) and executed by the late Atwine wh o was a brother of Berwanaho (A2). The gun which was used was brought by Bob Mugisha (A3). \par \par That gun was recovered near the scene. Its butt had been cut off and its serial number removed. The gun and ammunitions recovered at the scene were taken to Nairob i by D/SP Aisu (PW15), for forensic examinations. Mr Johnston Musoki Mwongela (PW9), firearms expert from CID headquarters Nairobi, with great skills, managed to restore the serial number, which the assailants had erased. He also confirmed that the cart ridges which were recovered from the scene had been fired from the said gun. \par \par D/C Sakwa Fred (PW23) was tasked to procure print out from MTN, Celtel and mango service providers to trace communication between A1, A2, A3 and the late Atwine prior and after th e murder of the deceased. His evidence showed that apart from having original or permanent phones, all the four accused persons acquired other private numbers which they began using on specific dates and stopped using on some other dates during the exe cution of the mission to kill the deceased. \par \par Lastly officers from the three service providers i.e. MTN, Celtel and Mango, gave evidence to confirm that they provided print outs to help police investigations. They were Mugisha Collins (PW24) from MTN Ingin Nyakabwa (PW25) from UTL and Nsubuga Patrick (PW26) from Celtel. \par \par Dr Aggrey Kiyingi (A1) made unsworn defence where have relied on total denial and alibi. He told court that though their marital problems had become serious and irredeemable, he still love d and respected the deceased and opted for the most civilized least confrontational separation which was legal divorce. Before that he thought he was the problem in the marriage for not giving the deceased the necessary attention. So, he offered her a s e cond honeymoon and took the deceased to the most expensive and luxurious cruises money could buy in the Mediterranean Sea in the year 2000. After trying family arbitration and counseling in vain he resorted to divorce. But even after divorce petition, h e continued to love and respect the deceased who was staying in the matrimonial home in Buziga with ease and all the necessary services like power water and workers. He told court that he received the sad news at 6.45am Australian time from his brother in law in London (Mr Semanda) on 12}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 th}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 July 2005, which the deceased had been shot dead. He was shocked, confused and disoriented. After a while he recollected himself and contacted his two sons Kibuka and Kirabo and later his daughter, Samali and started ma king final arrangements to fly to Uganda. Later he contacted relatives and friends in Uganda asking them to make burial arrangements. He however denied calling Bomboka (PW3) and Dr Eva Kasirye (PW2). He denied calling or receiving a call from Berwanaho (A2). He also denied calling the late Atwine. He told court that he left Australia on 13/7/2005 at 1.00p.m. and arrived in Entebbe on Thursday 14}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 th}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 July 2005 at 8.30am and proceeded to Buziga Home.

Earlier on the same Lwanga together with Dr Eva Kasirye (PW2) and Samali (PW2) had requested the clergy at Namirembe to block him f rom addressing the congregation at the memorial service of the deceased. He denied having a hand in the death of the deceased. He denied any dealings with Atwine, Berwanaho and Bob Mugisha for the purpose of planning and coordinating the death of the dec eased.

He denied coordinating the plan to kill the deceased. He stated that he was in constant contact with the late Atwine because both of them were involved in a research programme in Wakiso District during t he time the deceased was killed and the phone lines which he acquired were for the research project. He conceded that he called Dr Kiyingi from Entebbe when he was doing project work but not for the purpose of coordinating the murder of the deceased. H e denied calling Dr Kiyingi on 11-7-2005 as alleged by Nasuna (PW4) in her evidence. He further denied receiving money from Dr Kiyingi to distribute to the killers. All in all, he denied all connections in the death of the deceased. \par \par Bob Mugisha (A3) on his part also made unsworn defence where he admitted that around 19}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 th}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 December 2003 he was deployed together with one Tenywa to guard Dr Kiyingi which they did for only two and half weeks after which they went back to their normal duties when Dr, Kiyingi we nt back to Australia. After that, he never had any connection with Dr Kiyingi at all. He denied any knowledge of Atwine and Charles Berwanaho and the killer gun. \par \par Lastly, he denied ever escorting Dr Kiyingi to Entebbe together with Charles Berwanaho (A2) and the late Atwine. \par \par The defence relied substantially on the evidence of two witnesses; George William Muwone DW1 whose evidence was that he was a shamba boy at the home of Dr Kiyingi in Buziga. His evidence was that the home of Dr Kiyingi at Buziga did not lack anything including power and water. He testified that during the time he was at Buziga, life was okay and he did not learn of any plot to kill Robinah Kiyingi. He testified that Nabossa (PW13) did not possess a mobile phone and that Dr Kiyingi used to ring them on landline, which was in the house. \par \par Dr Andama Joseph Dw2 testified that he was a medical officer from Luzira maximum prison who examined the late Atwine. He testified that the late Atwine complained to him that he had been tortured whe reupon he treated him. Atwine further complained of stomach pains before he eventually died. He concluded that postmortem from South Africa showed that there were certain chemicals in Atwine\rquote s organs, but he stated that he did not know how that had come about. \par \par On the first ingredient, counsel for the accused persons conceded that it had been proved that Robinah Kiyingi is dead. Notwithstanding that concession it is trite law that court must make specific findings on all the ingredients of the offence ch arged. In the instant case there was overwhelming evidence in proof of the above ingredient. Dr Kiyingi (A1), the husband to the deceased, testified that soon after the death of the deceased, he was informed by his brother in law in London. Upon that i n formation he informed his children and later his relatives and friends in Uganda and instructed them on the burial arrangements. Soon after the death of the deceased, a number of people visited the scene and saw her dead body. These included Eva Kasirye , (PW2), Mr Bomboka (PW3) Sgt Karugaba (PW8) and D/Corporal Nabetta (PW17). D/Corporal Nabetta in particular was a scene of come officer who visited the scene and took photographs of the deceased at several positions. Post mortem examination of the decea s ed was done by Dr William Male Mutumba, (PW7) a pathologists, who established that the deceased died of multiple gunshot injuries that resulted in severe lacerations of the brain, lungs and the heart. Above all, the burial of the deceased was attended by among others D/Sgt Karugaba PW8, Eva Kasirye (PW2). Dr Kibuka (PW10) Samali (PW12) and Dr Kiyingi (A1). It is therefore my conclusion that the first ingredient has been proved beyond reasonable doubt. \par \par The second ingredient is whether the death of the dec eased was unlawfully caused. In law every homicide is presumed to be unlawful unless it was accidental or excusable. It is excusable when caused under justifiable circumstances like self defence, of property or person or when authorized by law. The abo ve position was taken since the decision in }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 GUSAMBIZI S/O WESONGA Vs R [1948] 15 EACA 65 \par }{\b\ul\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par }{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 It is instructive to point however that it is not upon the accused to prove that the homicide was accidental or excusable in the circumstances. The duty is still on the prosecution to establish that. }{ \b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 See}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 : }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 PAULO OMALE \endash UGANDA, CRIMINAL APPEAL NO 6 OF 1977[COURT OF APPEAL]. \par }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par In the instant case, there was no evidence to prove that Robinah Kiyingi died accidentally or under justifiable circumstances. Instead the evi dence on record proved that she died a gruesome death after being showered with bullets on the head. The photographs taken by scene of crime officer D/Corporal Nabetta (PW17) revealed entry points and exit points of bullets that were showered on the head spilling out the brain matter. According to Nabossa PW(13) the deceased approached her gate as if she was being chased by some people. Soon she heard gunshots as the deceased was crying }{\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'94}{ \b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Jesus Jesus}{\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'94.}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Those gunshots were also witnessed by Mr. Bomboka (PW 3) who was immediate neighbour to the deceased . The medical evidence further proved that the cause of death was gunshot injuries. Taking the above prosecution evidence in totality, the presumption that the death of the deceased was caused unlawfully is very high. The deceased could not have died a natural death. The concession by the defence that the death of the deceased was unlawfully caused was therefore well conceived and justifiable in the circumstances. \par \par The third ingredient was whether the death of the deceased was caused by malice forethought.

Photographs of the deceased taken by D/C Nabetta (PW17)

showed that there were several entry and exist points of bullets on the body of the deceased. Those who visited the scene which included Dr Eva Kasirye (PW2), PW2 Mr Bomboka (PW3); D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8) and D/IP Katungi saw the deadly riddled with bullets

on the head with the brain matter splashed out. The killer gun was established by Musoki Mwongela PW(9) to be MORINCO TYPE 56 Assault Riffle a Chinese copy of Soviet Kaiashnikov A. K 47 Assault Rifle whose calbre was 7.62 mm which was designed to chamber

7.62X39 mm military rifle ammunition. The above gun is such a precise weapon (although of small destruction) It was tested and found to be functional. Whoever fired it at the deceased at such a close range time must have clearly had an intention to caus e her death. Moreover the assailant(s) fired several bullets on the head of the deceased as was confirmed by Dr Male (PW6) leading to lacerations of the brain, heart and lungs. The head of a human being is a very vulnerable part of the body especially wh en shot with bullets: }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 See: }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Okello \endash Okidi Vs Uganda; Supreme Court Criminal Appeal No 3 of 1995}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (unreported).}{ \insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par \par In that case, (}{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Okello-Okidi Vs Uganda}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 ) the deceased was shot several bullets on the head. The Supreme Court confirmed that the assailant in s o doing must have had the necessary malice aforethought. \par \par In the instant case, considering the nature of the weapon which was a lethal weapon and the part of the body the assailant(s) targeted, which was the head and the manner which the gun was used, as s everal gunshots were fired, one cannot resist inference that whoever assaulted the deceased had the necessary malice aforethought. They killed the deceased in a callous manner oblivious of the plea by the deceased as she was crying for her life in the na me of \'93}{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Jesus Christ\'94,}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 according to the testimony Nasuna Pw4 and Nabossa (PW13). In conclusion therefore, I agree with the defence and both assessors that the death of the decease was clearly caused with malice aforethought. \par The last and most contested ingredient was the participation of the accused persons in causing the death of the deceased. The prosecution relied on the evidence of the following witnesses in an attempt to implicate the accused persons in this offence:

\par \par Musiime Nicholas (PW1), Dr Eva Ka sirye Alemu (PW2) , Mr Bomboka (PW3), Nasuna Sadha (PW4), D/Sgt Turyasingura (PW5), D/Constable Ahimbisibwe (PW6). D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8), Dr Andrew Simbwa Kibuka Kiyingi (PW10), Apollo Mutashwera Ntarirwa (PW11); Samali Recho Biyinzika Nakagulire Kiyingi (P W12), Nabossa Prossy (PW13), Rukia Nabirye (PW19), D/IP Katungi (PW21), (PW23) among other witnesses. \par \par There is one issue which I must resolve before analyzing the evidence of the above witnesses. The defence contention was that the evidence of Musiime Nic holas (PW1), Nasuna Sadha (PW4), D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8) and D/IP Katungi (PW21) be excluded for being hearsay, in that all of them relied on what the late private Atwine John had told them. Hearsay consists of statement, which is direct or written by a pers on who is now not before Court, the purpose of which is to prove the same that it was made or written. It is second hand evidence, which cannot be subjected to cross-examination and therefore liable to fabrications. \par \par In the instant case the evidence of Nich olas Musiime (PW1) and Nasuna Sadha (PW4) cannot in my opinion be categorized as hearsay as the two witnesses were testifying on facts which they heard from the late Atwine. That category of evidence is provided for under section 59 (b) of the evidence ac t. \par }\pard \ql \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par }\pard \qj \li720\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin720\itap0 {\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'93Oral evidence must, in all cases whatever, be direct; that is to say:- \par {\listtext\pard\plain\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 (a)\tab}}\pard \qj \fi-720\li1440\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\jclisttab\tx1440\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\ls12\adjustright\rin0\lin1440\itap0 { \b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85.. \par {\listtext\pard\plain\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \hich\af0\dbch\af0\loch\f0 (b)\tab}if it refers to a fact which could be heard, it must be the evidence of a witness who says he or she heard it.\'94 \par }\pard \qj \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par Therefore the evidence of Musiime (PW1) and Nasun a Sadha (PW4) can not be said to be hearsay evidence in so far as they were testifying on what they heard directly from the late Atwine and they were both subjected to rigorous cross-examinations on their assertions.

They gave first hand evidence as to how they came to arrest and prosecute the accused persons. Their evidence was therefore very important in this case as investig ating and arresting officers forming the necessary chain between direct or circumstantial evidence available in proof of the allegations on the charge. \par \par 1 must also add that hearsay rule has become a white elephant in most jurisdictions, being an 18}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 TH}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 centu ry belief that juries were not capable of understanding or giving effect to the basic principles by which judges determine the trustworthiness or reliability of evidence. In Uganda where the roles of the assessors (juries) remain as judges of facts while t he judges determine trustworthiness or reliability of evidence and that the opinion of the assessors are not binding on the judges, one wonders why the hearsay rule should still remain as part of our law.

Karugaba (PW8), an d D/IP Katungi (PW21) who testified that after the murder and burial of the deceased, they received information from Nasuna Sadha (PW4), that it was the late Atwine John who fired the bullets which ended the life of Robinah Kiyingi on 11/7/2005. The info r mation that time was incriminating Dr Aggrey Kiyingi A1 and Charles Berwanaho (A2) in that Dr Kiyingi was desirous of getting rid of his wife, the deceased and Charles Berwanaho was tasked with the duty of coordinating the whole mission when the late Atwi n e was arrested by police with the assistance from Nasuna Sadha, he (Atwine) told the police that he had been lured by Charles Berwanaho (A2) to desert the army to come to Kampala and assist in the murder of the deceased who was said to be disturbing her h usband, Dr Kiyingi (A1). The late Atwine was promised to be paid a lot of money for the mission and was to be relocated to Australia where A1 was staying. Atwine further gave information to police that Bob Mugisha (A3) had earlier been given the assign m ent but had failed to accomplish the same to the chagrin of Dr Kiyingi A1 after being paid. That, subsequently he (A3) offered to provide the killer gun which was received from him from the office of Charles Berwanaho (A2) from his office at Agip House, Kampala \par \par The prosecution also relied on the evidence of Nicholas Musiime (PW1) who testified that he (PW1) housed Atwine a week or two preceding the murder. Musiime Pw1 testified that Atwine told him that he was in Kampala on a mission to kill a wife of a Doctor.

\par \par Following the evidence of Musiime PW1 and Nasuna Sadha PW4 the police recovered at the scene a jacket which Nasuna PW4 identified as belonging to her but had been lent by her to the Late Atwine for sometime. The police also recovered at the scene, a map which was showing the direction and geography of the late Robinah\rquote s home. On the map they found fingerprints of the late Atwine which was confirmed by Apollo Mutashwera Ntarirwa (PW11) \par \par From the scene the police also recovered piece of plywood with fake number plates which were identified by Nasuna Sadha PW4 as fake plates which the late Atwine had prepared in her presence and informed her that they were for the purposes of disgusting the actual car plates that were to be used in the murder. \par \par The evidence implicating particular accused persons were as follows: \par As far as Bob Mugisha (A2) was concerned, the prosecution led evidence that Bob Mugisha was unofficial guard of Dr Kiyingi up to 2005 according to Nabossa Prossy (PW12). The hub of the eviden ce implicating Bob Mugisha was mainly from the information that late Atwine gave to the police and that it was Bob Mugisha who provided him with the killer gun from Charles Berwanaho\rquote s offices at Agip House. It was at that office that Charles Berwanaho (A 2) introduced him to Bob Mugisha (A3). After getting the gun, he took it to Kireka where he erased its serial number and removed the butt. The prosecution evidence was that the late Atwine clearly described bob Mugisha as a police officer who was attache d to old Kampala police station and later on identified him in an impromptu identification parade. \par Another evidence the prosecution relied on to implicate Bob Mugisha (A3) was from D/Sgt Ahimbisibwe (PW6) who told court that sometimes in May 2005 while in t he company of Bob Mugisha A3, and a police woman constable Maganja as they were walking towards the Car Park, Bob Mugisha received a call and stopped to talk on his handset. After talking on his phone he rejoined them and told them that he had a friend o f his abroad who had a girlfriend in Kampala who had conned him of a lot of money and wanted to find away of killing her and wanted his assistance. That Mugisha Bob told them that the mission involved a lot of money and that he was going to get a gun from

a constable. PW6 further testified that on 12/7/2005, a day after the murder of Robinah Kiyingi two young men went looking for Bob Mugisha at Old Kampala police station. Soon after, he (PW6) saw in the Newspapers after the arrest of the accused persons t he very picture of one of those young boys who had gone to the station looking for A3 a day after the murder. He said that the brown one was Atwine who was putting on a blue T-shirt in the Newspaper. \par \par Another prosecution witness was D/IP David Turyasingura (PW5) who testified that on 17/7/2005 while at old Kampala Police station reading News papers he commented in the presence of Bob Mugisha that Dr Kiyingi did bad to kill his wife. Upon hearing that, Mugisha told him that he knew the killers of the decea s ed. He pleaded with Mugisha so that the law could take its course and also that he could benefit from the 5 million shillings the police had staked on information leading to the arrest of the murderers. Mugisha however refused to disclose claiming that t he family of Kiyingi was very rich and would kill him if they got to know that he had revealed the killers. He testified that he was surprised that the next day he heard that Bob Mugisha had also been arrested in connection with the death of the late Rob inah Kiyingi. \par \par The prosecution further relied on the evidence that towards the murder all the parties to the murder acquired other numbers which were for strict use with regard for the mission so that they were to act in a discreet manner such that in case of any problem. They would not be put together. That was why Bob Mugisha was found with a sim card on top of usual numbers. \par \par As for Charles Berwanaho, (A2) the prosecution relied on the evidence of Nasuna Sadha (PW4) who told Court that in March 2005, she met the late Atwine who was her former schoolmate and a village mate in Bushenyi. The late Atwine told her that he was a soldier in the army attached to Gulu. After that meeting Atwine stayed in Kampala for two weeks and went back. Shortly after, Atwin e retuned to Kampala and told her that he was staying with a friend of his. Atwine told her that he returned to Kampala because his brother Charles Berwanaho A2, had a deal and wanted his help. In the month of June 2005 the late Atwine disclosed the deal to her that Charles Berwanaho A2 had a doctor friend who had someone he wanted to kill and that the lady had sold off the doctor\rquote s container and that the women was a lawyer and was disturbing the new wife the doctor had married. So the deal was to kill he r (the lawyer woman) that she tried to trace that lawyer but failed. Her evidence was that Atwine stayed in Kampala for about two months at the expense of Charles Berwanaho A2 who was the Chief coordinator of the mission. During that time Atwine and Ber wanaho were communicating very constantly. The surprising thing was however that whenever Atwine wanted to talk to Berwanaho, he would beep him using Nasuna\rquote s phone and erase the number. Then Berwanaho would call but Atwine would hide his number. That meant that the parties were secretive. \par \par Atwine\rquote s information to the police investigation officers was that it was Charles Berwanaho who had introduced him to Bob Mugisha who provided the killer gun to him and one Bernard who went with him to the death point as a backup hit man. \par \par The police information was that it was Berwanaho (A2) who drove the assailants to the scene and kept them there. \par \par According to the police investigations as evidence by D/C Sakwa (PW23) as the day of the murder was approaching, the late Atwine, Dr Kiyingi and Charles Berwanaho acquired other numbers. That on 1/6/2005 Charles Berwanaho who initially had two lines later, and for the purpose of this mission acquired Celtel No. 075896311 and on the same day acquired another line 075-205532 . The later number was in use up to 15/7/2005 and then abandoned. That was the date Dr Kiyingi was arrested by police. On the same date, 1/6/2005 the late Atwine acquired celphone No 075-991327 which he used up to 11/7/2005 at around 8.00am. That day wa s the day of the murder of the deceased. That line was later on abandoned by the late Atwine. On the other hand, Dr Kiyingi also acquired a new line on 3/7/2005 which was No 075-980608 which he strictly used only for that date. Dr Kiyingi also used his known telephone line on the same day. \par \par D/C Sakwa (PW2) testified that on that date, 3/7/2005, Dr Kiyingi used 075-80608 to communicate to Charles Berwanaho on his (A2) newly acquired No 075-205532. D/C Sakwa testified that that day Dr Kiyingi was leaving t he country and he was with Charles Berwanaho (A2) at Entebbe Airport, having come to Uganda on 20/6/2005. The reason for Dr Kiyingi\rquote s coming to the country according to Nasuna Sadha (PW4) and Atwine\rquote s information to police, was to bring in money to pay the killers and also to make final arrangements. According to Nasuna Sadha (PW4) it was Charles Berwanaho A2 who called Atwine on 3/7/2005 at 4.00p.m. when Atwine was in Mukono with her (Nasuna).

\par \par Nasuna PW4 testified that after receiving the call Atwine to ld her that it was Charles Berwanaho who had called him instructing him to rush to Entebbe to go and escort Dr Kiyingi and that Atwine left immediately on receipt of that call. The extracted print-out by police (exhibit P24}{ \b\sub\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (15)}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 showed that Atwine was called on his phone No 077-617849 by Charles Berwanaho on phone No 075-205532. \par \par Further more the evidence implicating Charles Berwanaho A2 was that according to exhibit P}{\b\sub\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 24}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 on 13 /7/2005 two days after the murder at 1202 pm telephone No 071-326345 which belong ed to Charles Berwanaho called Nasuna Sadha (PW4) on No 077-606212 to talk to Atwine \par \par According to Nasuna Pw4 on receiving that call Atwine was panicky and immediately got a taxi and left Nakawa for Kireka. \par \par Lastly the evidence of D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8) and D/IP Katungi (PW21) was that when Charles Berwanaho learnt or suspected that police were looking for him, he kept away from his home and never slept at his home in Kyambogo until he knew that the police had apprehended his wife that he was compelled to r eport himself which was not a voluntary conduct as he alleged. \par \par As for Dr Kiyingi A1 the evidence and contention of the prosecution was that he had motive (though not necessary in criminal trial) to kill his wife, the deceased because of two reasons: Their marriage had been on the rock for long and he wanted to remarry and was already cohabiting with a young lady. He had already petitioned for a divorce which was surprisingly opposed by the deceased which did not go down well with the accused. \par \par Another rea son was that Dr Kiyingi was disgruntled about the deceased sharing his property after their separation. So the only solution was to kill the deceased. The prosecution relied on the evidence of Nicholas Musiime (PW1), Nasuna Sadha (PW4) and D/Sgt Ahimbis i bwe that the theory below the death of the deceased by Dr Kiyingi was property concern and his desire to remarry. The evidence of Nicholas Musiime (PW1), was that Atwine had told him that Dr Kiyingi wanted his wife dead because they had misunderstanding.

Nasuna Sadha (PW4) and D/C Ahimbisibwe that the theory below the death of the deceased by Dr Kiyingi was property concern and his desire to remarry. The evidence of Nicholas Musiime (PW1) was that Atwine had told him that Dr Kiyingi wanted his wife dea d because they had misunderstandings. Nasuna Sadha (PW4) on the other hand testified that Atwine told her that a certain Doctor wanted to kill his wife because she had grabbed his property and was disturbing her- co -wife while the evidence of D/C Ahimbis ibwe (PW5) was that Bob Mugisha told him after communication with some one on phone that he had a friend of his living outside the country whose girlfriend had conned him and so he wanted a way of killing her. \par \par In support of the above theories the prosecuti on relied on the evidence of past threats by Dr Kiyingi on the deceased. It was the evidence of Dr Eva Kasirye Alemu (PW2); Dr Kibuka Kiyingi (PW10) and Samali Kiyingi (PW12) that in 2001 Dr Kiyingi pointed a gun at the deceased and threatened to kill he r after finding her with a 19 year old Christian praying in the family home. Again in 2001, after the deceased was convinced by Dr Kiyingi to stay with him in Australia, she expressed fear on her life to her children Kibuka PW(10) and Samali (PW12) after D r Kiyingi had told that he could kill her and no one would know. The deceased further reported to Dr Eva Kasirye (PW2) that sometimes after the burial of her mother in-law, Dr Kiyingi threatened to kill her with a spear. That incident was also said to h ave happened in 2001. \par \par Nabossa Prossy (PW13) testified that around 2002 and 2003, when she was employed as a housemaid to the family of Dr Kiyingi at Buziga, Dr Kiyingi contacted her to request her to kill the deceased but she rejected the request being a b orn again Christian and reported the incident to the deceased. She testified that Dr Kiyingi enticed her with a phone and shs.200,000/= but she declined the request to kill the deceased and instead advised Dr Kiyingi to reconcile the marriage. Nabossa t estified that Dr Kiyingi had promised her heaven on earth. On top of money she was to be built a house and Dr Kiyingi was also prepared to pay school fees for her child. \par \par Another evidence of past threats was that in 2003 Dr Kiyingi through his nephew Laban Kiwanuka contacted some soldiers to kill the deceased but the plan aborted because the soldiers disclosed the plan and the deceased got wind of it and informed her sister Dr Eva Kasirye Alemu (PW2) and her children, Dr Kibuka (PW10) and lawyer Samali (PW 12). She wrote a letter to that effect (exhibit P}{\b\sub\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 11}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 ) implicating Laban Kiwanuka and Dr Kiyingi. Laban Kiwanuka\rquote s threat was supported by Nabossa Prossy (PW13) and the conduct of the accused in trying to exonerate him through a forged letter from the DPP (Exhibit P12). \par \par The prosecution further alleged that the conduct of Dr Kiyingi prior to the murder, was suspect in that he came to Uganda secretly on 29/6/2005 and left on 3/7/2005. \par \par According to the evidence of Nasuna Sadha (PW4) and Atwine\rquote s information to the police, the purpose of that visit was to bring in money to be used in the murder. Prosecution contended that the fact that Dr Kiyingi was with the late Atwine and Charles Berwanaho at the Airport on that day confirmed that he had brought the money. They relied on print out Exhibit P 24}{\b\sub\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (3)}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 , P 24}{\b\sub\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (9)}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 P 24}{\b\sub\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (15)}{ \insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 . \par \par Another allegation on the conduct prior to murder was that on 3}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 rd}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 July 2005, a week before the murder, Dr Kiyingi went stealthily without knowledge of the deceased and removed valuable property f rom the matrimonial home, according to Prossy Nabossa (PW13). Among them included TV, radio set and loud speakers. The deceased did not know that her husband was within the country. The deceased told the presence of the accused to her sister Dr Eva Kas irye Alemu (PW2) to whom she expressed fear about her life. \par \par The prosecution also asserted that Dr Kiyingi (A1) withdrew guards from the Buziga home so that he could be in control of the home so that the planned mission could succeed after removing those who were close to the deceased. \par \par The prosecutors further relied on the allegations that Dr Kiyingi A1 never communicated to his in-laws on 11/7/2005 about the unfortunate incident but instead offered to call other people like Sam Kagulire Lwasa and Prince N akibinge. On top of that it was also prosecution evidence that Dr Kiyingi further failed to greet his in- laws at the funeral and yet he greeted other mourners. Further more, it was the evidence of his daughter Samali (PW12) that her father Dr Kiyingi n ever comforted them as mourners and that his speech during the funeral service was as if he was not bereaved. The speech never embraced sorrows. It was as if it was a baptism service for the children because he never talked about the deceased. \par \par The prosec ution further relied on the evidence of D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8) that Dr Kiyingi was suspected because his itinerary showed that he arrived in Uganda on 13/7/2005 and was to leave Uganda on 15/7/2005 which to them, was strange for a bereaved spouse of mother o f his children to plan his travel in such a way. D/Sgt Karugaba PW8 and Nasuna Sadha PW4 further stated that on 17/7/2005 Dr Kiyingi received a call when he was at CID Headquarters from the killer Atwine on phone No 041-541525 and that same number thereaf t er called Nasuna Sadha PW4 who was also at the CID Headquarters and on receipt of that call and on realizing that call the was from Atwine, Nasuna switched the call to hand free and everybody including D/Sgt Karugaba and D/IP Katungi (PW2) heard that conv ersation between Atwine and Nasuna. The prosecution contended that the communication was because Atwine was demanding his balance for the mission. \par \par Lastly, the prosecution relied on the evidence that the in Atwine\rquote s notebook; the telephone number of Dr Kiyingi was noted in one of the pages to prove that he was in contact with the late Atwine. \par From the above evidence it is clear that there were no eye witnesses to the gruesome killing. The evidence implicating the accused persons were therefore based on a chain of circumstantial evidence.

As far as Dr Kiyingi is concerned, a chain of circumstantial evidence was raised against him by the prosecution. Among them was past threats on the life of the deceased. The law is that past threats on the deceased by his or he assailant can be good evidence leading to conviction. However, there must be sufficient proximity between the threats and the occurrence of the death in order to form a transacti on. See }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 MUREEBA}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (Supra). If the threat is too remote in terms of time and transaction, then it would not constitute circumstances of the transaction leading to the death of the deceased. The Court held further that circumstances must be circumstances of a t ransaction. General expression indicating fear or suspicion, whether of a particular individual or otherwise and not directly related to the occasion of the death was held not to be admissible. \par \par In the instant case, it was contended that the marriage betwe en the couple had fallen on the rocks whereby even the enormous wealth, which they had, could not redeem it. Between 2001-2003 the marriage was characterized by threats, abuses, hatred and mistrust to the extent that the deceased continued to live under c onstant threat to her life until her death. Those threats occurred two years prior to this incident, to say the least, I think those threats offered during the above period were too remote to constitute a transaction in the death of the deceased. They we re not proximate in view of the time lag. Save perhaps for Laban\rquote s incident, the other threats and abuses were manifestations in the wear and tear in the marriage relationship. Furthermore, there was no evidence to prove that Dr Kiyingi continued to threa ten his wife or that he continued to request his maid to help in doing away with the deceased. \par \par Unlike in }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Mureeba\rquote s}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 case where there were persistent threats on the life of the deceased by way of telephone threats and physical harassments, in the in the ins tant case, there was no evidence to show that the accused was in overt pursuit of threatening the deceased. Even when the accused was said to have sneaked into the country, there was no evidence that he made attempts to threaten the deceased by telephone

contact or otherwise. Therefore the fear that the deceased expressed for her life when the accused sneaked into the country on 29/6/2005 was just a general expression of fear and suspicion, which needed corroboration. Therefore I find the above chain of circumstantial evidence to be of a very weak nature. \par \par There was an assertion that the conduct of the accused was not that of an innocent person. First of all, it was the prosecution evidence that the accused did not communicate the death of the deceased to his in-laws, did not console and comfort the children and his away of booking a return journey two days after the burial was not conduct of a bereaved husband. \par The accused in his defence stated that after receiving the bad news of the death of the deceased from his brother in law, One Semanda from London, he was shocked, confused and disorientated but after a while he recollected himself and contacted his two sons, Dr Kibuka and Kirabo and later his daughter, Samali and started making travel arrangements t o fly to Uganda. Later he contacted relatives and friends in Uganda to make burial arrangements. \par \par The defence of the accused was further that after arriving in Uganda on 14}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 th}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 July 2005. He proceeded to his Buziga home where he got mourners. However he was shocked at the cold reception from his in laws, many of whom did not want to speak to him except his father in law, who consoled him in the Kiganda fashion-}{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'93}{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Kitalo Nyo}{ \b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'94 }{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 The accused told court further that thereafter he summoned the children to the master bedroom including his two daughters, Samali and Sanyu whom he found already at Buziga and consoled them and they prayed together. \par \par Lastly the accused denied failure to mourn the deceased. He told court that he was degraded, humiliated and prevented from m ourning the deceased in that during the funeral service, Hon Tim Lwanga bluntly prevented him from consoling and hugging his children by shielding and pushing them away from him. Earlier on, the same Tim Lwanga together with Dr Eva Kasirye (PW2) and Sama li (PW12) had requested the clergy at Namirembe Cathedral to block him from addressing the congregation during the memorial service of the deceased. \par \par I do agree, with the defence that with the above kind of treatment, even a man with the hardest character w ould not have contained the embarrassment and humiliation. The accused told court that although the clergyman in their God given wisdom gave him opportunity to speak, his heart was already too heavy to sustain a good speech, but all the same, he spoke wi thin the context of the occasion. The above defence which the accused made in a calm and composed mood is quite plausible and believable. \par \par Apart from the above defence, the accused further told court that because over traveling and staying without proper sleep for very many hours, he was in a state of fatigue such that he could not make a good speech in the circumstances. \par \par I have considered the evidence as outlined above. People express grief in many ways. In fact there is no standard form of grief unless it is being orchestrated. Some cry others don\rquote t. Some break down in grief while others standup to the grief. Therefore to attach the guilt of the accused to the type of speech he made at the funeral service clearly lacked moral certainly. That chain of evidence should accordingly be discounted for being weak and uncertain because it did not rule out the human weakness of the accused: }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 See }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Bogere Charles -Vs-Uganda, Supreme Court criminal Appeal No 10 of 1998.}{\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par }{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par The prosecution engine was based on the evidence of Musiime Nicholas PW1, Nasuna Sadha PW4 and the police investigation team comprising of D/ Sgt Karugaba PW8, D/IP Katungi (PW21) and D/C Sakwa (PW23). \par \par The evidence of Nicholas Musiime (PW1) Nasuna Sadha (PW4) D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8) and D/IP Katungi ( PW23) all relied on the revelation which the late Atwine had made. However the evidence of Musiime (PW1) and Nasuna (PW4) suffered a serious blow in assessment of their truthfulness with the death of the late Atwine John who was one of the suspects in th is case. However, that misfortune could not bundle completely the evidence of the two witnesses as worthless as long as there was other evidence which when tied together could irresistibly point to the guilt of the accused persons. \par \par One of such evidence co uld have been if the state had tied the death of Atwine on the accused persons. But here the state was more to blame than the accused because it was its duty to keep Atwine safe in custody. As mentioned earlier, the evidence D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8) and D/IP

Perez Katungi (PW21) constituted evidence of investigating officers which was vital as foundation evidence in support of prosecution case. However the evidence of these witnesses like those of Musiime and Nasuna were barren of evidentiary value without th e necessary corroborative evidence. The information which Atwine made to the above officers were not confessions because they were not made under charge and caution. Even if they were, their truthfulness would have first been tested and refined before adm ission. \par \par In an attempt to harness the evidence of the above witnesses, the prosecution relied on the assertion that, towards the execution of the murder mission the accused persons acquired telephone lines, which they used strictly for the mission and disca rded soon thereafter. The prosecution relied on the evidence of D/C Sakwa (PW23) who was a specialist in analyzing telephone printouts from service providers. Using great skill and expertise, D/C Sakwa (PW23) presented telephone printouts covering the per iod before and after the murder of the deceased. \par \par However, according to D/C Sakwa, the printout revealed that no calls had ever been made by DR Kiyingi to Bob Mugisha; there was no call made by Dr Kiyingi to the late Atwine, there was no call made by Bob Mu gisha to Dr Kiyingi or Charles Berwanaho or to the late Atwine and vice versa \par \par The print-outs further revealed that there was no international call made by Charles Berwanaho to Dr Kiyingi and yet it was alleged by the prosecution witness that soon after th e mission was accomplished, Charles Berwanaho phoned Dr Kiyingi to inform him accordingly where he was said to have expressed his happiness. The shortfalls in the printouts created a hole in this case. The only contact, which the printouts revealed, was b etween Charles Berwanaho and his brother the Late Atwine. The defence explained that that was a normal contact between blood brothers. Charles Berwanaho explained further that during that period, he was carrying on research together with the late Atwine. That was why they were in close contract. The \par \par The prosecution called the evidence from service providers i.e. MTN, Celtel and Mango. All these witnesses (PW26, PW25 and PW24) confirmed that their systems did not have the capacity to listen to telephone conversations. This should have been a useful advancement in detecting crimes. Those service providers also alluded to the shortfalls in the printouts about telephone contacts between the accused persons. \par \par The only evidence which the prosecution brought against Dr Kiyingi in respect of telephone contacts was through D/Sgt Karugaba (PW8) Nasuna Sadha PW4 and D/IP Katungi (PW21) that on 17}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 th}{ \insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 July 2005 Dr Kiyingi received a call when he was at CID headquarters from the late Atwine on phone No 041-541525 and t hat the same number thereafter called Nasuna Sadha who was also at the police headquarters and on receipt of that call and or realizing that the call, was from Atwine, Nasuna switched the call to hands free whereupon everybody including D/Sgt Karugaba and , D/IP Katungi heard the conversation between Atwine and Nasuna. The prosecution contended that the conversation between Atwine and Dr Kiyingi was because Atwine was demanding his balance. But one cannot be certain about the authenticity of this conversat i on. That was the first time both Karugaba and D/IP Katungi were hearing the voice of the late Atwine if ever he was the one speaking at all . Moreover the call was from a payphone. Therefore, it is possible that Nasuna could have been talking to anybo d y. More-over I am very reluctant to trust the credibility of this Nasuna in light of the fact that she could not reveal the plot to kill the deceased to the local or public authorities at the earlier opportunity and yet she was said to be having a very p r ominent uncle in the Police Force, One Asuman Mugenyi who was by then heading public relations department of the Police Force. If she could reveal the same to a stranger, it could have been much easier for her to have reported the same to the said offic e r. It is therefore doubtful whether she even made efforts to save the life of the deceased as she claimed. Moreover the testimony of Nasuna also failed to tally with other prosecution evidence. Her reasons for the killing of the deceased were different

from the version, which Atwine was said to have given to Musiime. She also told Court that Atwine had told her that Dr Kiyingi booked him in a posh room in Entebbe. This however conflicted with the evidence adduced by D/C Sakwa (PW23), which was that th e late Atwine never slept in Entebbe. This among others, throws doubt on the prosecution theory. At this juncture it is instructive to recite the case of }{\b\i\ul\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Woolmington}{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 -Vs-DPP}{ \i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 [1935] AC 662:}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par \par }\pard\plain \s18\qj \li720\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin720\itap0 \b\i\f36\fs28\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\f0\fs24\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'93 Just as there is evidence on behalf of prosecution so there may be evidence on behalf of the accused which may cause doubt as to his guilt.

And you may say \'93well how do I know when I have got to a stage of being satisfied of his guilt beyond reasonable doubt?\'94 and the answer to that is that it is when you have reached the stage that you either have no doubt}{ \insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 at all, because you have got rid of all reasonable doubts; or if there is something nagging in the back of your mind which makes you hesitate as to whether you are satisfied beyond reasonable doubt, you have got to try and take it out and identify thing which is causing the hesitati on, causing the doubt if you like, and you have a look at it and you try to assess it and you say to yourself is this doubt that is}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 bothering me, does it proceed from reason; is it a rational doubt is it something which raises a really sensible doubt; or is it a fantastic sort of doubt, is it something which arises from some prejudice that I may have, some quite unreasonable fear that I might go wrong, some perhaps reluctance to make an unpleasant finding. Well if it is}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{ \b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 one of those doubts then of course it cannot be described as reasonable doubt because it does not come from reason, it comes from something which is emotional or irrational or at any rate it is not based on reason and if you have had a look at what is bothering you and you decide that it doe s proceed from something which is not reason but something fantastic or rising out of prejudice or one of these other things, then you should say to yourself. \par \'93 the only doubt I have got is one which is not based on reason\'94 \par \'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85\'85 \par And of course it is commonsense point of view before you find anybody guilty of crime like this, you need to feel comfortable about it, you need to feel\'94 very well I have considered everything and I am}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{ \b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 well satisfied.

The finding of guilt should only be based where there is no doubt or if there is doubt, the doubt must be based on reason and not prejudice , fear or reluctance to make unpleasant finding. In other words the finding of guilt must not be like }{\b\i\ul\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Pilato\rquote s biblical trial of Jesus Christ. \par }{\b\ul\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par }{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Taking the prosecution evidence in this case in totality and the defence, w hich Dr Kiyingi raised, my mind is still left nagging whether he committed the alleged crime. The truthfulness of evidence of Musiime Pw1 and Nasuna Pw4 could not be fully established due to the sudden death of the late Atwine. The allegations that the a ccused persons acquired a number of telephone sets to coordinate the mission was not established by the prosecution to the required standard. This being a very serious crime, court ought to be certain beyond reasonable doubt. The law in its usual kindnes s in that it is safer to let 99 criminals free than to convict one innocent person. Experience abound where innocent people have been convicted recklessly. Although it was not his duty to prove his innocence, Dr Kiyingi made a formidable defence, which c r eated a huge cloud of doubt on the prosecution case. He destroyed the allegation that during the eve of the murder he had sneaked into the country to bring in money to pay the killers. His explanation was that he had come to do his private business and t o perform a social function. He had been invited as a guest of honour in a social function during the launching of Nagujja\rquote s album where his company was the sponsor. I have no reason to disbelieve that explanation. If the accused had come to finance th e said deal, at least some part of the money could have been recovered from one of the accused person because the deal was said to have involved a lot of money. However not even 100,000/ was recovered from the late Atwine or Charles Berwanaho, who was sa id to be the one who was charged with the distribution of the said funds. \par \par The accused also explained that his return schedule had nothing to do with his guilt as that was a provisional booking. He also denied withdrawing electricity and security services from the house. In totality, the alibi which the accused was not bound to prove in law created a huge doubt in the prosecution case. \par \par For the above reasons and others already outlined, I find this case has not been proved beyond reasonable doubt and I the refore would not feel comfortable to convict the accused. The evidence on record merely leaves the accused as a high suspect in the death of his wife. But the law is very straight on that point, suspicion however high it may be can never be a basis for conviction. }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 See}{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 : R Vs Israel}{\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Epuku s/o of Achietu.}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 The circumstantial evidence against the accused did not point irresistibly at the accused unlike in the }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Mureeba}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{\b\i\ul\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 case}{ \b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (supra)}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 where after the death of the deceased, the accused was heard rejoicing that the }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Malaya}{ \insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 who was after her husband was now dead. And she proceeded to engage a witch doctor to help her out of trouble after the murder, but in the instant case, however the circumstantial evidence could not be tied around Dr Kiyingi. The evidence as poi nted earlier left the accused as a high suspect. It was not water tight as required by law. Therefore having failed to prove this case to the required standard and this being a very serious crime, I would feel very uncomfortable in convicting the accuse d. In agreement with both assessors, I find Dr Kiyingi not guilty on the charge. He is accordingly acquitted \par \par As far as the 2}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 nd}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 and 3}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 rd}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 accused persons are concerned, the prosecution relied on the same evidence to implicate both of them. With regard to the 2}{\super\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 nd}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 accused Charles Berwanaho prosecution further relied on his conduct of hiding from the police team upon realizing that he was under probe. In his defense, Charles Berwanaho denied ever hiding and told court that the previous night he had not evaded police arrest but had spent the night at the home of his mistress and that upon realizing that he was wanted by police, he decided to report himself to the police. Further defence was that during the material time he was carrying on a research on Aids, w hich was being funded by the Global Fund. At that time he was carrying research in Wakiso together with the late Atwine. He conceded that in the process he was in constant touch with the late Atwine on phone. He denied making an international call to Dr

Kiyingi. The issue of international call between Dr Kiyingi and Charles Berwanaho was ruled out by the printouts, which the prosecution laid before this court. The accused also made a plausible account of his presence in Entebbe during the material time that he was there doing his research. Therefore, the possibility that the accused was in Entebbe, not on account of Dr Kiyingi could not be overruled. \par \par As for the conduct of the accused that he evaded arrest I am satisfied with his explanation that during the night in question, he had slept at the home of his mistress in Kyambogo and only managed to return in the morning and when he learnt that he was wanted by police he reported himself to the police headquarters. I think it was irrational to make adver s e inference on the conduct of the accused person because if at all he had intended to hide from the course of Justice he would not have reported himself to the police headquarters, purportedly to rescue his wife who had been arrested by the police . But I must also say that the conduct of arresting the wife of the accused who had nothing to do with this crime tantamounted to high handedness. A person should only be arrested for the crime he or she has personally committed but not for crime committed by a nother person, not even that of a spouse. \par \par Another reason the accused related for the constant communication with the late Atwine was that they were brothers. The blood relationship between the two was even confirmed by the prosecution. The accused also t estified that there was employee-employer relationship between him and Dr Kiyingi, which would prompt them to communicate to each other whenever it was necessary. All the reason above clearly set out the weakest link in the circumstantial evidence relied on by the prosecution because the links gave other co existing circumstances which would weaken or destroy the inference of guilt. }{\b\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 See: WAIBI }{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 (supra).}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 Furthermore, if it is true that the assailants had used Charles Berwanaho\rquote s motor vehicle to the scene, why was it that the prosecution failed to identify its registration number? If the information from Atwine was to go by, then he should have been in a position to identify that motor vehicle because that was his brother\rquote s vehicle. \par \par Lastly, I have to deal with Bob Mugisha A3. Again as for the other two accused persons, the evidence against this accused is of a very weak nature. In addition to the witnesses whose evidence I have already analyzed in respect of the other two accused persons, the prosecution

relied on the evidence of D/Sgt Turyasingura (PW5), and D/C Ahimbisibwe (PW6). The evidence of D/Sgt Turyasingura (PW5) was that the accused never revealed the names of the assailants a part from saying that he knew the killers. In the testimony of D/C A h imbisibwe (PW6) the accused never made specific reference as to the doctor from a broad who was planning to kill his girlfriend. The evidence of the two witnesses were therefore speculative and needed very strong corroborative evidence which the prosecut ion failed to adduce. \par \par All in all, the prosecution case failed the standard required in criminal justice, to prove this case beyond reasonable doubt. That standard is very high. The court is not bothered by the strength or weakness of the defence as was the point in }{ \b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 PAULO OMALE -Vs- UGANDA CRIMINAL APPEAL }{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 No. 6 of 1977}{\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 where the defunct Court of Appeal for Appeal for Uganda had this to say: \par \par }\pard \qj \li720\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin720\itap0 {\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'93It is for the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the prisoner with malice aforethought killed the de ceased. }{\b\i\ul\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 It is not for the prisoner to prove accident or self defence and he is entitled to be acquitted even though the court is not satisfied that his story is true,}{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 }{ \b\i\ul\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 so long as the court is of the view that his story might reasonably be true}{\b\i\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \'94 \par }\pard \qj \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 {\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 \par }\pard\plain \s17\qj \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0 \f36\fs28\lang1033\langfe1033\cgrid\langnp1033\langfenp1033 {\f0\fs24\insrsid7025642\charrsid2493155 For the ab ove reasons, I agree with the unanimous decisions of the lady and gentleman assessor that the accused persons should not be found guilty.
