Court in Masaka has sentenced Kampala City Tycoon Godfrey Kato Kajubi to life imprisonment.

Masaka High Court judge Justice Michael Chibita convicted Kajubi of ritual murder.

He read his ruling to a packed court room Thursday afternoon. His ruling was welcomed by Masaka residents and the relatives of the deceased who said justice had been delivered.

The case was under a retrial after the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) challenged the High Court decision to acquit Kajubi.

Prosecution said Kajubi is sponsored the ritual murder of a 12 year old Joseph Kasirye a pupil of Kayugi Primary School in Mukungwe sub-county in Masaka district on October 27, 2008.

Kajubi’s co- accused Mariam Nabukeera and Umar Kateregga were turned into prosecution witnesses to pin Kajubi.
