Arusha. A disagreement over a Sh18,000 (about $6.9 on the prevailing exchange rate) debt between two close friends ended in tragedy after a court found Mr Ally Athumani guilty of killing his friend, Mr Aidan Daudi, but convicted him of manslaughter instead of murder.
The High Court’s Kigoma Sub-Registry found that the prosecution had failed to prove that Mr Athumani had a prior intention to kill, leading the court to reduce the charge from murder to manslaughter.
