The hearing of the case in which city businessman Andrew Kananura alias Desh is accused of killing former employee Badru Kateregga has been pushed to Friday.

When the case came up for hearing on Monday, state prosecutor Jane Kajuga told court that she needed more time to make her submissions.

This prompted presiding High Court Judge Joseph Murangira to adjourn the case to April 7th.

Murangira also ordered lawyers of both parties to file written submissions on why the court should convict the accused or not.

Other defendants are Desh's brother Raymond Kananura, Cyrus Maganda, Jacob Onyanyo and Samuel Muzolewo who are currently out on bail. The accused are represented by Chris Bakiiza.

According to prosecution, the accused on September 30, 2012, allegedly tortured Kateregga to death after they found him with sh30,000 tips that exceeded the allowed amount to be held by any worker at the bar.

Kateregga was a bar attendant at Panamera Bar and Lounge.

Four witnesses testified in the case; ex-employee of Panamera, Emmanuel Taika, Mulago Hospital senior pathologist, Dr. Sylvester Onzivua and Police officers Edgar Akankwasa and Steven Kalyegira.
