The Kisoro Grade One Magistrate, His Worship Bob Asiimwe, has committed two men to the Kabale High Court on charges of Killing a 42-year-old woman.
The accused, Kabeshezi Enock (36) and Moses Mugararura, both residents of Ikamiro Village in Nyundo Parish, Bukimbiri County, are alleged to have, with malice aforethought, unlawfully killed Peninnah Orishaba on October 10, 2025.
Court heard that the suspects reportedly found the victim asleep before attacking her and fatally injuring her by cutting her neck. The incident was discovered by the deceased’s mother, who found her lying in a pool of blood.
Investigations later led police to the suspects after tracking phone records, particularly calls made to the deceased shortly before her death.
A postmortem examination confirmed that the victim died from severe neck injuries. Police also recovered the deceased’s mobile phone and SIM card, which were presented as exhibits in court.
Prosecution, led by State Attorney Eroni Nambi, informed court that one of the accused had previously threatened to kill a member of the deceased’s family.
The prosecution further stated that investigations were complete and committal papers ready, and requested court to refer the case to the High Court for trial in accordance with Sections 171 and 172 of the Penal Code Act, Cap 128.
His Worship Asiimwe subsequently committed the accused to the Kabale High Court and served them with the committal papers.
