The trial  of Molly Katanga and her two daughters plus two others accused of killing businessman, Henry Katanga has kicked off at High Court in Kampala.

As the trial kicked off before Justice Isaac Muwata, the five accused including Molly Katanga, her two daughters, Martha Nkwanzi and Patricia Kakwanza;  the family shamba boy, George Amanyire, and a medical practitioner, Charles Otai denied the charges against them.

The defense team representing the accused comprises Kabasi Peter, Jet Tumwebaze, Kabega Macdusman, Erison Karuhanga, Bruce Musinguzi, Zuraic Kasanjja, and Annat Nabaggala while the state is represented by Wakoli Samali and Jonathan Muwaganya, and Anna Kiiza.

Mrs Katanga was on Tuesday morning wheeled into the court room under heavy  security.

However, the proceedings were briefly halted to procure a Rutoro interpreter for George Amanyire, the shamba boy, who requires language assistance.

The trial is expected to continue with the prosecution presenting its evidence and witnesses to prove the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt.

The defense team will also have the opportunity to present their case and defend their clients against the charges.
