The High Court has released granted bail to four suspects implicated in the murder of the city businessman, Henry Katanga.
The city businessman was allegedly gunned down on November 2, 2023, by his wife, Molly Katanga, at his home in Mbuya, Nakawa Division, Kampala City.
The prosecution alleges that Martha Nkwanzi and her sister, Patricia Kakwanza, tampered with evidence at the crime scene, rendering it unidentifiable for judicial proceedings. George Amanyire, a shamba boy, and Charles Otai, a health worker, are accused of assisting others involved in the crime.
Through their lawyers, led by Jet John Mwebaze, the suspects applied to be released on bail. Appearing before Justice Isaac Muwata, the four were granted Shs2 million in cash bail while their sureties were bonded at Shs20 million.
In his ruling, Justice Muwata ordered that Martha Nkwanzi, Patricia Kakwanza, George Amanyire, and Charles Otai each deposit Shs2 million and surrender their passports.
The four are charged alongside Molly Katanga. She is currently on remand at Luzira Maximum Prison.
