You see on Friday night, Scojul and his friends were seated at a bar watching football when chaos broke out. Out of the blue, bottles were flying and people were running out of the bar. Someone with blood on their hands even collided with Scojul and heard people screaming ''bamuuse!!!'', (they have killed him!) In that chaos, Scojul froze and when police came in, they just arrested him and his friends who were told that they were now the suspects in the murder of the Bartender. Kitty K tried to visit them on the weekend but the police officer told her that "those suspects" would be in court on Monday and she would find them there.  By 6 am on Monday, Kitty K was at court waiting to see if her boyfriend 'who wouldn't hurt a fly' would be released. Instead, he was brought to court, the 'judge' asked if the case file was

📸: Unsplash. Kyuma has been 'on remand' for two years since he was arrested for mob justice. In the beginning, he kept asking the court to release him until he lost hope and gave up. Now his brother has told him their father is not well and he can no longer dig a full acre of land so Kyuma should get out soon and help them with the farm.  Kyuma wants to know if he should try asking to get out again or if it will be a waste of time to try. WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY? When we say a person is on remand, we mean that person has been kept in prison until the next time their case comes to court so that they can easily be picked up and brought before the court. By law, every person who has a criminal case to answer and that case is before a court of law has a right to apply to be released on bail if they have been on remand for 120 days (for cases that can be heard by a magistrate court), or if they have been on remand for 360 days (the case should be heard only by the High Co

📷: A VSO Experience.  When Tegwolo the market askari saw Kasango the market cleaner carrying a big ''Kikutiya'' last Friday, he thought it was rubbish as usual. When the market sellers started complaining that someone had emptied their stalls, Tegwolo knew there was a problem.    So, Tegwolo told the market sellers that he did not see anyone apart from Kasango with his big kikutiya of rubbish that night, but they asked him whose rubbish Kasango is taking out at night, yet he already took out the rubbish before they left. So, they immediately reported case to at the police station and Kasango was arrested. Kasango denied and even said Tegwolo only said those things because he is a liar who is jealous and wants his job. He even claimed that at the time things were stolen, he was in Buikwe for a burial.   At court, Kasango told the judge that he could prove his innocence, but he wanted a car to collect his relatives from Buikwe to tell court about the burial.
