Ssenoga told lawyers from both sides that the judgment was not yet ready and adjourned the matter to August 29.
Cherotich is accused of four counts of murder and attempted murder.
Prosecution alleges that on December 3, 2016, at around 2.00am at Maj Juma Seiko’s residence on Nakasero Hill, in Kampala, Cherotich who was then a guard at the residence shot dead two Boda Boda riders Lamex Ogwang and Fred Sembatya.
It is also alleged that on the same day, he also injured David Ssenkubuge and Solomon Mugabi.
The two Boda Boda riders had brought back home Mugabi who was being accompanied by two of his friends Katumba and Senkubuge.
Ssenkubuge was shot in the right thigh whereas Katumba survived unhurt.
In his defence, Cherotich denied ever being a guard and said he was just a cleaner at the home.
Court assessors recently asked court to convict the bodyguard because all evidence points to him.
