The bar bouncer accused of killing singer musician Moses Sekibogo, known by his stage name as Mowzey Radio has been found guilty of manslaughter but acquitted of murder.
Justice Jane Abodo of Entebbe High Court on Monday said she had found Godfrey Wamala alias Troy guilty of manslaughter and not murder which he had been charged with.
Justice Abodo, Wamala said the defendant did not have malice aforethought to kill Mowzey despite the fact that the Goodlyfe Crew member died following a bar brawl.
The judge in her ruling argued that Wamala squarely linked himself to the scene of crime when he admitted he was present when the incident happened.
In his defence, Wamala had denied touching the musician and said he saw two other men beating him up.
Manslaughter is lesser offense than murder which attracts a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.
Justice Abodo adjourned the case to October 31, 2019 when she will sentence Wamala.
Court heard that on January 22, 2018, Wamala was seen with Radio at the De bar drinking, before a scuffle between the singer and other people ensued.
Radio allegedly poured alcohol on some people in the bar before a one Pamela Musimire and another person only identified as Ategeka intervened by taking Radio out of the bar.
Outside the bar, Wamala reportedly grabbed the singer and punched him.
Prosecution said that after the beating, Wamala disappeared from the scene of crime and hid in Kyengera until February 4, 2018 when he handed himself to police authorities after Mowzey was announced dead on February 1, 2018.
The musician died at Case Hospital in Kampala 10 days after being beaten into a coma.
