Holding
The accused is convicted of murder.
Facts
The accused, Musilli Tulo, is accused of murdering Scollah Kalunda Mwenga on June 30, 2010. The prosecution claims the accused killed the deceased at Mwingi Central Location, Eastern Province, and left her for dead. The accused denies the information.
Issues
- Whether the accused committed murder with malice aforethought
- Whether the accused's alibi was credible
Reasoning
The accused admitted to the crime in his confession, detailing how he killed the deceased and left her for dead. The multiple injuries to the deceased, including cutting her tongue, gouging her eyes, and skinning her leg, are consistent with malice aforethought. The accused's alibi was not raised early in the trial and was therefore not credible.

Convicted of murder
