Nyangasi was convicted on 19th October for murdering his wife but the sentences were left pending.

Today he appeared before court to receive his sentence but the matter has been adjourned to tomorrow because the trial judge was not available due to ill health.

Delivering her judgment last week, High Court Judge Jane Kiggundu said prosecution had proved beyond reasonable doubt that Nyangasi killed his wife Christine Dambio .

She disagreed with defence lawyers that the deceased died of pneumonia, arguing that one of Dambio’s relatives saw Nyangasi strangling her.

Prosecution says Nyangasi murdered Dambio at their matrimonial home in Kireka a Kampala suburb on 24^th July 2010 after a misunderstanding related to property and accusations of infidelity.

The victim was found unconscious in the bathroom and rushed to Mulago Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
