Kiboga High Court delivered a landmark verdict on Tuesday, sentencing former prison warder John Anguyo to death after finding him guilty of the premeditated murder of four inmates at the Kiboga Central Prison in 2022. The prosecution presented forensic evidence linking Anguyo to the crime scene, including DNA samples and a weapon recovered from his residence. Witnesses testified that Anguyo had a history of violent conduct and was known to harass prisoners. The judge, Justice Miriam Nansubuga, emphasized that the ruling serves as a deterrent against abuse of authority within the penal system. Anguyo’s legal team filed an appeal, arguing procedural irregularities, but the court affirmed that the evidence met the threshold for capital punishment under Ugandan law.
