Kabale Chief Magistrate’s Court has sentenced a 24-year-old student at Bishop Bahram University College to two years in prison over sodomy, Chimp Corps report.
Prosecution told court presided over by Magistrate Moses Samuel Kagoda Ntende that Felestino Tihaboose on March 9, 2016 while at Kabale University sodomised his colleague Milton Tumwesigye.
Court heard that Tihaboose who had gone to visit Tumwesigye at Kabale University ended up sodomising the latter as both shared a room.
Tumwesigye reportedly made an alarm which woke up neighbors to his rescue.
“At around midnight Tihaboose emerged from the corner of the room and started practicing sex in Tumwesigye anus,” alleged the state.
Upon arrest, Tihaboose pleaded guilty before being remanded to Ndorwa government prison.
While delivering his judgment, Kagoda said sodomy carries a life sentence but considering the fact that the accused pleaded guilty, never wasted court’s time and being a student, he would serve two years in jail.
The magistrate said the sentence would serve as a lesson to others and enable him reform so as to resume studies.
