The Director of Public Prosecution has slapped new charges against Molly Katanga and her co-accused.
Appearing before Court, Justice Isaac Muwata, granted DDP’s request to amend the charge sheet and introduce the new charges against the accused.
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.
According to the amended charge sheet, each of the four accused is leveled with charges of being accessories to the murder of Henry Katanga and conspiring to destroy evidence related to the same crime.
Yesterday, the trial of Molly Katanga, the wife and prime suspect in the shooting down of city businessman Katanga, kicked off yesterday at the Criminal Division of the High Court in Kampala. All the accused pleaded not guilty.
