Suspected defiler freed
KAMPALA-After completing four of his seven-year prison term on charges of defilement, Herbert Bukenya, was left speechless when the Court of Appeal acquitted him. Bukenya, 29, a former employee of the Kampala City Council, last week bowed several times before the judges after their verdict. He had been accused of picking an underage girl from a school in Jinja and marrying her. However, Justices Galdino Okello, George Engwau and Stephen Kavuma ruled that they had failed to find incriminating evidence against the accused. Bukenya quickly dashed to Luzira Prison to get his belongings.
