New twist in Katanga murder case

Katanga and Molly

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The murder case of businessman Henry Katanga keeps throwing twists and turns around. Martha Nkwanzi, a daughter to the late businessman has been remanded to Luzira Prison for destroying evidence in the murder of her father who was killed two months ago.

Nkwanzi surrendered herself to the court on Jan. 10. The court was presided over by Nakawa Chief Magistrate, Erias Kakooza who had on Monday issued a warrant of arrest against her. Court has heard that on November 2, 2023 at Mubya Chwa Ii, Nakawa Division, Kampala Capital City, knowing that diverse things at the scene of crime may be required in evidence in a judicial proceeding, Nkwanzi and Patricia Kankwanzi removed or destroyed them or rendered them illegible or undecipherable or incapable of identification with intent thereby to prevent them from being used in evidence.

The two daughters are jointly charged with their mother Molly Katanga who is reportedly admitted for injuries she allegedly sustained during the incident. Molly Katanga remains on criminal summons issued by court requiring her to appear on January 22nd to answer for her husband’s murder.
