Criminal Law [2016] UGHCCRD 24

Uganda v Kalangwa (HCT-06-CR-SC-0040 of 2013)

Uganda v Kalangwa (HCT-06-CR-SC-0040 of 2013) [2016] UGHCCRD 24 (27 April 2016)

The prosecution proved the death of a human being, its unlawfulness, and malice aforethought through medical and circumstantial evidence. However, the evidence regarding the accused's participation was insufficient, amounting only to suspicion and not placing him at the scene for purposes of committing the offence. The prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case requiring the accused to make a defence. Consequently, the submission of no case to answer was upheld and the accused acquitted.

  • Unlawful Killing
