It was the prosecution’s allegation that the accused, on the 7th day of February, 2024 at Nagule village, Puti-Puti sub county, in Pallisa District unlawfully did grievous harm to a one, Orem Martin.
When the charge 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 Charge, the accused placed in issue all and every essential ingredient of the offence with which he is being charged.
Prosecution case:
In attempt to prove the charge, the prosecution first called the said Orem Martin who testified as Pw1.
Pw1 told court that he knows the accused person who is his neighbor with a distance of about 70 meters between their homesteads. That on the said day, around 8:00 am, Pw1 left his home to go to his cassava garden which is about 70 meters away and he found two huge pigs which belong to the accused and they were vandalizing the said cassava garden. That Pw1 then called his son, a one, Okia who came and herded the said pigs back to the accused’s place.
