The trial of Molly Katanga, the wife and prime suspect in the shooting of city businessman Henry Katanga, has kicked off at the Criminal Division of the High Court in Kampala.
Earlier today, the frail and ailing suspect, Molly, was wheeled into the courtroom ahead of the hearing of the matter.
Appearing before High Court judge Justice Isaac Muwata, Molly and her co-accused pleaded not guilty.
The matter was adjourned to tomorrow, when the judge will rule on a prosecution request to amend the charge sheet and allowed the accused (Molly) to attend court via zoom due to her medical conditions.
Molly Katanga is accused of killing her husband, Henry Katanga. The businessman was allegedly shot dead by his wife on November 2, 2023, at their home in Mbuya, Nakawa Division, Kampala City.
Molly is charged alongside her two daughters, Martha Nkwanzi and Patricia Kakwanza; George Amanyire, a shamba boy; and Charles Otai, a health worker.
Nkwanzi and Kakwanza are accused of tampering with evidence at the crime scene, rendering it unidentifiable for judicial proceedings. Amanyire and Charles Otai, a health worker, are accused of assisting others involved in the crime.
In February, the four were granted Shs2 million in cash bail, while their sureties were bonded at Shs20 million and ordered to surrender their passports.
