The judge explained that the said items would be marked and identified until the witnesses who recovered them came forward to testify and tender them as exhibits. "It, therefore, follows that a chain or evidence has to be followed before the exhibits are admitted right from the time of recovery to the tendering," said Muwata.
Represented by lawyers MacDusman Kabega, John Jet Tumwebaze, and Elison Karuhanga, the accused persons presented their sureties, many of whom were close relatives engaged in various businesses. Sureties included prominent businessmen and women who vouched for the accused, seeking their release on bail.
