Delivering the judgment at the High Court in Mwanza today, Judge
Sirialus Matupa said that the court was convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that
Muganyizi Michael, Magige Mwita, Abdallah Petro and Abdulrahaman Ismail had
indeed taken part in murdering the former police chief.
Three of the seven suspects; Chacha Mwita, Buganizi Edward and
Bhoke Marwa were, however, set free after the prosecution failed to
produce substantive evidence against them. - Africa
