Arusha. The fate of Masumbuko Madata, who was sentenced to death by hanging for the murder of a child with albinism, has taken a dramatic turn after the Court of Appeal quashed his sentence after 15 years, leaving the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to decide whether to try him afresh.
Mr Madata had been incarcerated since May 31, 2011, when the High Court in Tabora convicted him of murdering Easter Charles, whose body was discovered dumped with both legs severed.
It was alleged that on October 19, 2008, in Shilela Village, Kahama District, Shinyanga Region, the appellant and two accomplices killed the young girl.
