Hearing of prosecution evidence against businessman Matthew Kanyamunyu, who is on trial on charges of murder of Kenneth Akena, a child rights activist has been pushed to 2020.

Kanyamunyu, his girlfriend Cynthia Munwangari and his elder brother Joseph Kanyamunyu are accused of murdering Akena by shooting in Kampala, around Lugogo on November 12, 2016.

The trial was supposed to start today (December 11, 2019) however, Justice Steven Mubiru fixed January 8 to 10, 2020 as hearing dates for the case.

Kanyamunyu and his girlfriend were arrested in 2016 on suspicion that the former drew a gun at Akena after the deceased reportedly knocked/scratched his car at Lugogo in Kampala.

The deceased had reportedly gone to apologize to Kanyamunyu after he knocked his car and also make good of the damage but Kanyamunyu instead allegedly lowered the window of his car and shot him to death instead.
