How wife’s testimony exposed husband’s killer before Tanzania High Court

Arusha. It was an ordinary night for Ms Pili Paul. Still, within moments her life changed forever after she watched her husband, Mr John Habi, stabbed in the stomach before her eyes, before collapsing in a pool of blood, leaving her widowed and their young child without a father.

The High Court at Musoma Sub-registry convicted Mr Mwita Nyagabure. It sentenced him to death by hanging after finding the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that he fatally stabbed Mr Habi in the stomach in his wife’s presence.
