The prosecution, through Faith Kaberia, proved the case against the accused and called a total of 6 witnesses, who, in their testimony, informed the court that the accused committed the heinous act that led to the young girl getting pregnant and later miscarrying.

 Serem in her verdict said the prosecution through testimonies and exhibits from witnesses had discharged the burden of proof and the accused stands convicted
