It was the prosecution’s allegation that the accused on the 1st day of April, 2024 at Katome Village in Pallisa District stole a motor vehicle, to wit; a motor cycle Reg. No. UGA 250G, Bajaj model, Red in colour valued at approximately UGX. 5,000,000/= (Uganda shillings five million only,) the property of a one, Wabwire Asuman.
When the change was read to the Accused, he denied the same and a plea of NOT GUILTY was accordingly entered.
It is trite that by denying the charges, the Accused put in issue all and every essential ingredient of the offence with which he is being charged.
In attempt to prove the charge, the prosecution called 4 (four) witnesses. Prosecution first called a one, Kijjimi Kuzaima, and his testimony was taken down as Pw1.
He told court that he knows the complainant who is his maternal uncle and also knows the accused, he having lived with Pw1’s uncle on the same village for about 2 years and used to occasionally disappear from the village and return later, stating that he was a soldier.
