Septic tank murder: case adjourned to August 

The murder case involving senior accountant Francis Onebe and his security guard Bonny Oriekot has been adjourned to next month August 1 by presiding judge Micheal Elubu.

The duo was arrested in September 2021 on the suspicion of murdering Onebe’s wife, Immaculate Onebe Mary Aiso in January 2021 and disposing of her body in a septic tank at their home in Muyenga, Makindye division.

During the proceedings, the prosecution presented four witnesses, including a DNA analyst who analyzed the retrieved body, Aiso’s daughter, the village secretary where Onebe resides, and a video analyst who reviewed footage captured in the area on the day Asio went missing.

The investigating officer also testified, revealing the existence of writings in Aiso’s diary indicating disagreements between the couple.

The officer also mentioned the discovery of a letter written by Onebe’s ex-wife, detailing the mistreatment by Onebe and some relatives.

However, the defense, led by counsel Patrick Kasumba, was scheduled to continue cross-examining the investigating officer, Jacob Okello, but the trial couldn’t proceed as justice Elubu was absent.
