The High Court in Kampala has granted bail to city car dealer Mohammad Ssebuwufu who is charged with murder of businesswoman Betty Katusabe last year.
Judge Wilson Masalu Musene delivered the verdict after hearing Ssebuwufu’s bail application.
His earlier bail application a few months ago was declined on grounds that he was believed to have interfered with witnesses.
The Pine Car Depot proprietor reapplied once again before the same judge, Wilson Masalu Musene, stating that bail is his constitutional right and the fact that his epileptic.
His earlier sureties, outspoken former presidential press secretary Tamale Mirundi and Sheikh Nuhu Muzaata, were in court on Friday.
Ssebuwufu offered four grounds for which to be released on bail, including presumption of innocence and that he cannot abscond court.
The hearing comes only a day after the same judge released Ssebuwufu co-accused former CPS DPC Aaron Baguma on a sh5m cash bail.
Ssebuwufu is part of seven people yet to stand trial before the High Court for the case of kidnap and murder of Katushabe at Pine Car Depot last year.
