The defence in the Christopher Onyum Okello murder trial has closed its case after failing to produce key witnesses, pushing proceedings into the final stage. The high-profile case, linked to the killing of four toddlers in Ggaba, now heads to closing arguments as the court prepares for a final ruling.

According to the Executive Order, Awero and Kumbuga, who are representing the accused under the State Brief Scheme, remained silent despite being aware of the Law Society’s formal objections.
