The High Court in Entebbe has on October 28 found Godfrey Wamala Troy, a key suspect in the murder of local musician Moses Ssekibogo aka Mowzey Radio guilty of the crime.
Justice Jane Frances Abodo found Troy guilty of manslaughter and not murder of Mowzey saying there was no malice aforethought in killing the musician.
Justice Abodo noted that Troy also linked himself at the scene of crime when he admitted he was present at the time the incident happened but said he saw two men beating up Mowzey.
The prosecution produced evidence of nine witnesses who included the late’s mother Jane Kasuubo, music producer Washington who testified that he was with Mowzey that fateful night and he saw him pouring wine on people which annoyed Troy and hit him.
Justice Abodo adjourned the case to October 31, 2019 when she will sentence Wamala.
Court heard that on January 22, 2018, Wamala was seen with Radio at the De bar drinking, before a scuffle between the singer and other people ensued.
Radio allegedly poured booze on some people before a one Pamela Musimire and another person only identified as Ategeka intervened by taking Radio out of the bar.
Outside the bar, Wamala reportedly grabbed the singer and beat him up.
Prosecution said that after the beating, Wamala took off and hid in Kyengera until February 4, 2018 when he handed himself to police when Radio had died.
