Arusha. The Court of Appeal has acquitted Mr Emmanuel Kulwa, who was sentenced to death for the murder of his grandparents, after finding the prosecution’s evidence contradictory and unreliable.
Mr Kulwa had been convicted by the High Court Mwanza Registry on two counts of murder, contrary to Sections 196 and 197 of the Penal Code, following the discovery of the bodies of Kalekwa Kazwenge and Donat Kasinga in a pit latrine at their home.
However, a three-judge appellate panel comprising Justices Augustine Mwarija, Lameck Mlacha, and Immaculata Banzi overturned the ruling on Friday, August 21, 2026, citing failure by the prosecution to prove its case beyond reasonable doubt.
