The key suspect in the death of Ugandan singer Moses Ssekibogo alias Mowzey Radio has stunned the court claiming that he didn’t touch the late musician despite all evidence against him.
Godfrey Wamala was arrested days after Mowzey Radio died while receiving treatment at a Kampala hospital. The fallen musician died on 1st February 2018 at Case Clinic in Kampala from a blood clot in his brain sustained in a bar brawl in Entebbe a few days earlier.
Wamala went into hiding after he assaulted Mowzey Radio at De Bar in Entebbe, he was arrested days later after the musician succumbed to his injury.
The suspect on Monday told the court that he severally intervened to stop a scuffle involving Mowzey and one George Egesa which broke out after one of them poured a bottle of whiskey on the table.
Wamala denied beating up Mowzey as it was reported by several witnesses who were present at the scene of crime. He said that he didn’t lift the late musician and threw him down as reported.
“The only thing I did that day during the brawl was trying to stop the fight. I didn’t beat anyone, I didn’t fight, I didn’t lift anyone like they said I lifted the deceased and threw him down. I don’t remember touching him,” said Wamala.
Wamala further claimed that Mowzey Radio was rowdy on that fateful day he met his death, the suspect said that the late musician caused fracas picking up fights with everyone.
“Radio started fighting with everyone who came near him, maybe he thought they were all his enemies. He kept his guard up trying to fight,” Wamala told the court.
