Six convicts of mob justice were sentenced to death by the High Court in Jinja. The convicts killed four people in a gruesome murder before setting their bodies on fire two years ago at Bugada village in Kamuli district. The convicts were named as Patrick Kyabire, Moses Kubuza, Ntalo Wamando, David Maganda, Wamuwuliro Wamondo and Abudi Mpiira. Passing the sentence, Justice Bamwine dismissed the alibi of denial put up in their defence, saying prosecution evidence had proved the case beyond reasonable doubt. "Prosecution evidence properly identified the convicts among the killers. The possibility of mistaken identity has been excluded. The convicts shared a common intention of killing the four victims. I find them guilty and sentence them to suffer death in a manner provided by the law," the judge ruled.
