High Court in Kampala, presided over by Justice Joseph Murangira has acquitted city businessman and rally driver Desh Kananura of murder charges.
In his judgement, Justice Murangira said that prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Kananura participated in the said murder.
Kananura was charged with the murder of his employee Badru Katerega at his Panamera bar in Naguru. He was charged together with his brother, Andrew Kananura and three others.
Katerega was killed in September 30th, 2012.
During the hearing, the judge ruled that prosecution failed to place Kananura at the murder scene as he was only called in after Katerega had been battered.
It also emerged that Kananura made attempts to rush the deceased to Norvik hospital before he died.
On April 18th, court assessors called for the release of Desh together with his brother Andrew.
