PROSECUTOR VERSUS MOHAMMED UME ADO …………………...............................................…………... ACCUSED RULING The accused Mohammed Ume Ado is facing trial for the murder of Yasmin Ali Godo. It is alleged that he committed the offence on 2nd December, 2012 at Mirangi Lodge, Eastleigh where they cohabited as husband and wife. The prosecution has called 7(seven) witnesses to prove the offence. Two of the prosecution witnesses (PW3 & PW4) were said to have been at Mirangi Lodge when the accused assaulted the deceased. The post mortem report produced by PW7 shows that the deceased was strangled to death. Having considered the evidence now on record, I find that the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the accused. He has a case to answer and may exercise the options available to him in his defence in accordance with section 306 of the Criminal Procedure Code. Orders accordingly.
