After a warrant of arrest was issued by a magistrate ‘s court ,Kampala money lender Molly Katanga, appeared before a Nakawa Magistrate and was formally charged with murder of her husband, Henry Katanga.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Magistrate Court committed Molly Katanga to the High Court of Uganda for trial and she was remanded in custody at Luzira maximum prison until February 19th, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katanga, a prominent businessman was found dead on the morning of November 2, 2023, in his bedroom at his matrimonial home in Mbuya, Kampala. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The same court has so far remanded Molly\u2019s daughters \u2013 Martha Nkwanzi Katanga, Patricia Kakwanza alias Tricia; house helper George Amanyire and Charles Otai to Luzira prison on the same murder charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the prosecution argued that Molly\u2019s DNA was found on the trigger of the killer\u2019s weapon, and the cartridges matched the pistol recovered at the crime scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The DPP plans to rely on postmortem reports, forensic analyses, phone printouts, and scene-of-crime reports as evidence in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Katanga\u2019s lawyers say she was a victim of domestic violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
