MURDER TRIAL: 'Nsenga, Uwera had Separated Beds'
Five witnesses have Thursday testified against Jackie Uwera Nsenga in the alleged murder of her husband and Kampala businessman Juvenal Nsenga at Kampala High Court.
According to Dr. Moses Byaruhanga, a police pathologist who carried out the post-mortem on the deceased's body, there was excessive bleeding with several bones fractured.
"The skin had peeled off indicating that the body had been dragged against a rough surface whereas there were other bruises on the chest, mouth and tyre marks on the right lower back from the spine to the left upper buttocks and this indicated that a vehicle had run all over his body," said Byaruhanga as Nsenga's relatives broke down in tears.
"There was bleeding into muscles of the chest and the neck with broken ribs on both the left and right hand sides. There was also accumulation of blood in the chest cavity both left and right measuring 300mls whereas there were small bleedings on the heart due to injuries caused by force from a blunt object onto the deceased's body," the 40-year old chief of Health Services in the Uganda Police Force told court.
According Nsenga's brother, Innocent Bisangwa, on January 10, 2013 while in Kisoro at around 9:30pm, he received a call from Jackie Nsenga informing him of how her husband had died after being knocked at the gate.
"She told me that people were going to inaccurately believe that she had killed her husband yet she had not. She narrated to me how it was just an accident that she came back home, parked at the gate and went to ring the bell. She said that after that she went back to the car and sat and waited for the gate to be opened but no one was coming to her help," recounted Bisangwa.
"Jackie told me that she rang the bell the second time but on returning to the car, before even sitting properly and closing the door, the car jumped and knocked the gate and the person who was opening it," added Bisangwa, 56.
Bisangwa further revealed of how the couple had separated bedrooms at their Bugolobi residence due to marital misunderstandings.
In another testimony, Donati Kananura, 76 and father to the deceased told court of how the relationship between Nsenga and Uwera had turned sour and that he severally tried to talk to the couple several times after complaints from the husband.
"I talked to Jackie about the complaints from his husband but on the last occasion she said she could not listen to Nsenga," Kananura told court.
He added that from that day Uwera Nsenga started despising the deceased's family and even ordered Nsenga's sisters out of the deceased's second residence in Muyenga.
In another testimony, Moses Kananura, who is a brother to the deceased told court how he met Uwera at the reception of Paragon Hospital where Nsenga was admitted and that she did not show concern about the condition of her husband.
"I went straight to the room and found my brother in extreme pain as he had a bent leg and arm. He told me in Kinyarwanda that, 'my wife has killed me in my own compound' and asked me to get his car keys from her because she didn't trust her. Uwera refused to give me the car keys.
"When I told the deceased about it, he insisted that I get the keys and phone from the wife because he never trusted his wife with confidential things like money and other important documents which he always kept in his cars. All this time Jackie made no efforts to enter and see how the deceased was," the brother to the deceased told court.
The hearing continues at the same court tomorrow.
Charges
Prosecution alleges that Uwera, a businesswoman, on January 10 2013, at her matrimonial home in Bugolobi, Kampala, murdered her husband Juvenal Nsenga contrary to section 218 and 219 of the penal code act.
The Nakawa Chief Magistrate, Sylvia Nabaggala last year committed Nsenga to the High Court, saying a murder charge had been sanctioned by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) against Uwera.
"The couple was living at its marital home in Bugolobi, a Kampala suburb - however by the time of Nsenga's death, their marriage had soured," said the Magistrate then.
Nabaggala read that efforts by the in-laws and other relatives to reconcile the feuding couple did not bear fruit.
"And on that fateful day, as she returned back home, he opened the gate for her but she instead just accelerated, knocking him down," the charge sheet reads in part. Court also heard that it was because of the injuries inflicted on Nsenga during the accident that led to his death at Paragon Hospital in Kampala.
Uwera yesterday pleaded not guilty to killing her husband intentionally.
