AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> FIVE people, including 71-year-old man Celestine Leonard from Chamchuzi Village in Karagwe District, yesterday appeared before High Court Judge, Dr Ntemi Kilekamajenga, charged with murder.<\/p>\n

State Attorney Emmanuel Kahigi told the High Court that the five accused killed Bangilana Benedictor on July 8, 2015. Other accused are Karoli Byamungu (26), Faustine Byarugaba (57), Tumsifu Celestine (25) and Edgar Celestine (36).<\/p>\n

Giving his defence on oath, third accused Celestine told the court that Bangilana Benedictor and he were doing a joint business of transporting oranges, maize and bananas by boat to neighbouring Rwanda across Kagera River.<\/p>\n

He testified that on the material day, they had planned to transport oranges to Rwanda, but Bangilana did not show up. Instead, he took Bangilana\u2019s clothes and went to Rwanda.<\/p>\n

The state attorney: Did you inform anybody that you had collected Bangilana\u2019s clothes?<\/p>\n

Celestine: No, Your Honour, but Bangilana was my close friend.<\/p>\n

Judge: You are the last person to have been seen in company with Bangilana. Where is he?<\/p>\n

Celestine: I don\u2019t know. I kept his clothes in good faith.<\/p>\n

Judge: When did you sell merchandise in Rwanda? Did you hand the money to Bangilana\u2019s wife?<\/p>\n

Celestine: I was arrested by the police before handing over the money. The Judge adjourned the case until Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
