Extrajudicial statements
The duo has been taken to at least three magistrate courts at Mwanga II in Mengo, Law Development Centre and Makindye in whose jurisdictions they carried out the offences to record extra-judicial statements.
An extra-judicial statement is an out-of-court utterance which can be either written or oral.
The suspect is taken to a magistrate’s chambers to narrate in details the crime committed but when offered into court as evidence, it is subject to the hearsay rule and its exceptions.
On Thursday, Young Mulo and Mukiga were taken to the Makindye magistrate’s court to record statements over the murder of Tom Wamala.
The two were at around 2 pm brought on handcuffs from Nateete Police station where they are being detained amid tight security.
With their faces covered, the duo was then led to the magistrates’ chambers.
Mulo was then taken to grade one magistrate Allan Gakyaro Mpiirwe’s chambers to narrate and record a statement on how Wamala was killed near Makindye Country club.
Mukiga was taken to magistrate John Robert Okipi’s chambers from where he recorded the statement.
The two were later returned to Nateete Police station from where they will soon be taken to court.
In past one month or so, police has carried out a crackdown on suspected killers of Boda Boda riders and recovered over 55 number plates and 45 motorcycles.
