Jacqueline Uwera Nsenga has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for the murder of husband, Juvenal Nsenga.

Uwera Nsenga was on Monday convicted for the murder of her husband Juvinal Nsenga.

“Jackie Uwera Nsenga is found guilty and convicted as charged,” said Justice Duncan Gaswaga.

While giving his judgement, Justice Duncan Gaswaga said that Jacqueline Uwera tried to protect herself by saying that she is God fearing and born again christian yet she aimed at killing her husband.

The Judge further said that  the accused saw the car as the nearest weapon to manifest her intention of killing Nsenga.

Court was adjourned until tomorrow morning when the sentence will be read.

On January 10, 2013, Uwera returned home at around 9pm driving vehicle Reg. No. UAL 933M. However, when her late husband opened the gate, she instead accelerated her vehicle, rammed through the gate and knocked him.

The car then dragged him for a considerable distance along the concrete pavement.
