VIDEO! Kagezi murder suspect breaks down in court over hunger
There was drama and a pause in court proceedings on Tuesday after one of the suspects facing trial in the 2015 Joan Kagezi Murder, Abdul Semujju alias Minana failed to stand in the dock and broke down before court complaining over hunger.
Semujju who visibly looked weak failed to stand straight and rather asked the magistrate to provide him with food since he had gone four days without food while on remand in prison in Luzira Prison.
“Your magistrate am asking for help, please help me, let them give me some little food, hunger is killing me, I have spent four days without eating, please give me some food” Semujju cried out to court.
The suspect refused to get up when the court guards tried to force him to stand so as the trial can go on as they assured him that he would eat upon being returned to prison after the court hearing.
Recently Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Nixon Agasirwe, was remanded to Luzira prison over his alleged role in the high-profile murder of Assistant Director of Public Prosecutions Joan Kagezi.
Agasirwe was arrested after one of the suspects turned state witness Daniel Kisekka Kiwanuka, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for his role in the murder named him as being the planner of the assassination ten years ago in Kiwatule, a city suburb.
