Mugambwa while presiding over the second High Court session in Bushenyi district observed with dismay that Kebikari with her two sons Ambrose Azeine, and Charles Byangwaho were in prison charged with murder and yet the case against them had been withdrawn.The trio had been charged together with Musa Mutinaki, with conspiring to kill Onesmus Kanyamabale on January 28, 1999. Mutinaki still faces the charges.Mugambwa said the case had been dropped according to a letter from the DPP dated November 5, 1999 that was in the file. “What are these people doing here? he asked.Others released on bail and whose cases are to be mentioned on March 11 are Moses Mugumya, John Tushabe and Kadogo.
