On the night of 3/8/93 the deceased, Joseph Olweny and his family were sleeping at his home at Namwendia village in the District of Tororo. Among the members of the family was his wife Sarah Ama l i, (PW2). There was an attack on the family by robbers. One of the attackers was a half brother of the deceased called Godfrey Onyango, who called the deceased out falsely alleging that the deceased's cattle had strayed to a neighbour's garden and were de s troying his crops and that the deceased should go and collect them. As soon as the deceased opened the door, Onyango entered the house followed by two other attackers. The deceased and his wife were assaulted. The deceased was dragged out of the house and

shot dead. In the process a number of deceased's property including a bicycle were carried away by the robbers. On 26/8/93 the appellant was arrested at Namulumba village in Iganga district with the deceased's bicycle which had been robbed on the night of

3/8/93. On 31/8/93 the appellant made a confessional statement to a Magistrate grade II at Tororo. In that statement he admitted having taken part in the murder of Olweny and the robbery of his property. He was charged with four other suspects, three of w hom were acquitted by the trial court, but he and Onyango were convicted and they appealed to the Court of Appeal which dismissed his appeal but found Onyango a minor and his sentence was set aside. \par }\pard \s18\qj \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\faauto\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid12925111 {\insrsid9847174\charrsid12925111 \par }{\cs33\insrsid9847174\charrsid12925111 At his trial the appellant denied ever having committed the two offences.

Another aspect of Ms. Nakabuye's argument was that the magistrate who recorded appellant's statement was wrong to tell the appellant "you are now free to say what you know about this case". According to her such a remark also induced the appellant to make the confession.
