Kasiwukira trial stalls over absent judge

The hearing of the murder case against Sarah Nabikolo, the widow of the slain city businessman Eria Ssebunya Bugembe alias Kasiwukira and her co-accused has stalled over the absence of the presiding judge.

Nabikolo, 62, her cousin Sandra Nakungu, 36, and a police officer Ashraf Jaden, 40, were expected to give their defence on allegations that they murdered Kasiwukira but Justice Wilson Musene-Masalu was absent.

The case was adjourned to August 31 for hearing.

Kasiwukira on October 17, 2014 was reportedly murdered at about 6:00am in Muyenga diplomatic zone.

He was knocked down by a speeding car as he jogged in the neighbourhood. He was a member of Kwagalana group.
