The trio Innocent Niwagaba, Tadeo Aharikundira alias Kiboneire and Javila Amanya all residents of  Rushaki ward  in Kabale municipality   appeared before Grade 1 magistrate  Julius  Mutabazi  who did not allow them to plead to charges because the lower court   lacks jurisdiction to try capital offences.

Prosecution told the court that on that fateful evening, Tumwesigye was coming from Rushaki ward to Kigongi ward with a friend, one Tobias.

At Kiruruma bridge they found four men armed with a forked hoe and a machete who immediately hit Tumwesigye on the head and robbed him.

Tadeo ran away to call for help.

The suspects later fled the scene but were identified.

This came after Rachel Nkwanzi the prosecutor informed court that investigations in this matter are complete and served the accused with indictment copies.

He asked the court to commit the accused persons to the High Court for trial since the state had already gathered enough evidence to sustain prosecution against them.

His worship Mutabazi then committed the trio to the high court for trial.

They were sent on remand at the Kabale regional remand home on Kikungiri hill, Kabale Municipality.
