The murder trial of former businessman Henry Katanga starts today, July 2, before Judge Isaac Muwata of the High Court in Kampala.

The high-profile and much publicised murder trial starts exactly eight months to the day Mr Katanga was found dead in his bedroom at the family home along Chwa II Road in Mbuya on November 2 last year.

The mother and daughters are joined in the dock by their family domestic servant George Amanyire, and a male nurse, Charles Otai, are accused of being accessories after the fact of murder. In the private pre-trial briefing that came as the defence team was asking for full disclosure of evidence and other crucial documents related to the trial, the judge is understood to have warned the prosecution and defence teams to zip it up.
