The High Court of Uganda acquitted Isabirye Malik of murder, finding proof of death, unlawfulness, and malice aforethought, but no evidence linking him to the killing.
Uganda v Byenkya and Another (Criminal Session 655 of 2019) [2023] UGHCCRD 13 (25 January 2023)
The prosecution failed to adduce direct or circumstantial evidence placing Nakyanzi Vanessa at the crime scene as the perpetrator of the offence. The evidence relied upon was hearsay and not corroborated by witnesses who were produced in court. The accused's silence, while allowing for an adverse inference, cannot alone sustain a conviction for murder. The prosecution did not meet the standard of proof required in criminal cases, as mandated by law. Therefore, the accused is acquitted due to lack of evidence proving her participation in the murder beyond reasonable doubt.
