Arusha. The Tanzania Court of Appeal has quashed death sentences imposed on three people convicted of murdering boda boda rider Aidan Paulo in the Mbeya case ruling.
The court reached its decision after being satisfied that the prosecution had failed to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt and that the trial was marred by serious procedural irregularities.
In Criminal Appeal No. 415 of 2023, the acquitted appellants are Adamu Sanga, Oscar Mwakapiki and Benjamin Mwasimba, who had challenged a High Court decision of April 28, 2023, which had sentenced them to death.
