The man accused of killing singer Moses Sekibogo alias Mowzey Radio has today been convicted of manslaughter.
Entebbe High Court judge Justice Jane Abodo on Monday said that she had found Godfrey Wamala alias Troy guilty of manslaughter and not murder which he had been slapped on him.
According to Justice Abodo, Wamala did not have malice aforethought to kill Mowzey despite the fact that the Goodlyfe Crew member died following a bar brawl.
The judge argued that Wamala squarely linked himself to the scene of crime when he admitted he was present when the incident happened.
In his defence, Wamala had denied touching the musician as he claimed that he saw two other men beating up Mozwey.
Wamala
will appear before the same court on October 31, 2019 when he will get his sentence.
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 till
February 4, 2018 when he handed himself to police after Radio had died.
