Katanga murder: The trial of Molly Katanga fails to kickoff over internet connectivity
The trial of Molly Katanga, the prime suspect in the murder of her husband Henry Katanga, has failed to kick off due to Internet glitches.
The trail was expected to kick off today after a one-month hiatus.
Molly was supposed to follow the proceedings from Luzira women’s prison via Zoom because she could not sit in court for long hours. The judiciary could not link Molly on Zoom over difficulties.
Prosecution was set to introduce the 7th witness, Richard Ambayo, a pathologist who examined Katanga’s body. Justice Isaac Muwata adjourned the matter to tomorrow.
Molly Katanga is accused of killing her husband, Henry Katanga. The businessman was allegedly shot dead by his wife on November 2, 2023, at their home in Mbuya, Nakawa Division, Kampala City.
Molly is charged alongside her two daughters, Martha Nkwanzi and Patricia Kakwanza; George Amanyire, a shamba boy; and Charles Otai, a health worker.
Nkwanzi and Kakwanza are accused of tampering with evidence at the crime scene, rendering it unidentifiable for judicial proceedings. Amanyire and Charles Otai, a health worker, are accused of assisting others involved in the crime.
In February, the four were granted Shs2 million in cash bail while their sureties were bonded at Shs20 million and ordered to surrender their passports.
