This comes after Justice Gaswaga in his ruling on Friday found Ms Uwera with a case to answer and asked her start her defense on Monday.
The trial has seen a total of 12 prosecution witnesses, including the deceased’s father Mr Donat Kananura, brothers and other experts give their evidence.

Other witnesses included; Dr. Moses Byaruhanga, a commissioner of Police, the late Nsenga’s brothers; Innocent Bisangwa, Moses Kananura and Joseph Kananura, scene of crime investigative officer, an expert from Makerere University Prof Jackson Mwakabi among others.

Uwera is accused of killing her husband, Juvenal Nsenga, when she ran over him with a car at their residence in Bugolobi, a Kampala suburb. She has since denied the charges.
