Kato Kajjubi imprisoned for life
In 2012, the then Masaka High Court Judge Mike Chibita indicted Kasirye for engineering the custom penance of Kasirye. He was in like manner condemned to life detainment.
The Supreme Court has maintained the lifelong incarceration given to finance manager Godfrey Kato Kajubi for planning the custom homicide of a 12-year-old kid, Joseph Kasirye.
In 2012, the then Masaka High Court Judge Mike Chibita indicted Kasirye for engineering the custom penance of Kasirye. He was in like manner condemned to life detainment.
Equity Chibita in his judgment decided that the indictment had demonstrated the argument against Kajubi without question that he played “an exceptionally key job” in the homicide of Kasirye on October 27, 2008.
In 2014, Kajubi pursued, however the Court of Appeal maintained the lifelong incarceration. The court excused all Kajubi’s four grounds of allure. They held that the preliminary adjudicator was on the whole correct to convict Kajubi as there was sufficient indictment proof decisively connecting him to the management of the homicide of Kasirye.
Kajubi then, at that point, engaged the Supreme Court on grounds that the witch specialist and his better half’s declarations were loaded with grave irregularities intended to absolve Kateregga with goals of embroiling Kajubi which was inappropriate as indicated by him.
His legal advisors contended further that, the lower court Judges didn’t consider the charge and alert proclamation made at police by Kateregga where he allegedly confessed to having killed Kasirye. They likewise noticed that the sentence was unforgiving and that it was not predictable with others sentences passed to comparable wrongdoers in instances of comparable nature.
On Friday, the five Justices of the Supreme Court Alfonse Owiny-Dolo, Rubby Opio Aweri, Ezekiel Muhanguzi, Percy Night Tuhaise and Lillian Tibatemwa, concurred with the lower courts that Kajubi assumed a vital part in the homicide of Kasirye.
They held that the preliminary adjudicators were on the right track to convict Kajubi as there was sufficient indictment proof soundly connecting him to the management of the homicide.
The judges refered to confirm by Kajubi in which he said he was in Jinja on the pivotal day of 27th October 2008, of the homicide of Kasirye but then the MTN telephone printouts showed opposite that he was in Masaka, where the kid was killed from.
This equivalent proof of telephone printouts was substantiated with the proof of Umar Kateregga, the witch specialist who under the directions of Kajubi guillotined the kid when he said he was in steady correspondence with Kajubi before the homicide of the kid.
The other proof that the judges depended on was the way that Kajubi’s lead after the homicide of the kid was dubious as he vanished from his known homes and furthermore turned off his telephones.
Kajubi’s legal counselor Godfrey Turyamusiima said that tragically their customer has lost the case. He anyway says that they will apply for an audit of the case.
