The Tabora Sub-registry of the High Court of Tanzania has sentenced a man to death by hanging after he was found guilty of orchestrating the murder of his elder brother over a dowry dispute of 10 cows. Bushesha’s co-accused, Maziku Kulwa, alias Mgenja, was acquitted after the court found insufficient evidence linking him to the crime. Along with eyewitness accounts, the evidence meets the legal threshold required in a murder case,” said the judge. Court rulingThe judge determined that Maziku Kulwa had been wrongly identified as one of the attackers, pointing out that neither Bushesha’s statement nor other evidence directly linked him to the murder. However, Bushesha was found guilty of murder, contrary to sections 196 and 197 of the Penal Code.
