THE PROSECUTION, represented by PN UWIZEYE Jean Marie.
SUBJECT: Child defilement (Application for review of Case No. RPA 0410/14/HC/
NYA)
I. FACTS AND PROCEDURE
[1] NSEKANABO Anselme, a former teacher, was charged by the Prosecution with
sexually assaulting an 8-year-old student. He argued for the first time in the Muhanga
High Court, which found him guilty and sentenced him to an imprisonment of twenty
years. He appealed to the High Court stating that he had been convicted of a crime he
did not commit, adding that there was no evidence against him. The High Court ruled
that his appeal was unfounded, and confirmed the first judgment.
[2] NSEKANABO Anselme applied for a review of the judgment RPA 0410/14/HC/
NYA alleging that a report of his co-workers proves that he was convicted for a crime he
did not commit.
[3] The issue to be considered in this case is whether the report that produced after the
judgement can be a ground for review.
II. ANALYSIS OF THE ISSUE ARISING IN THE CASE
Determining whether the report produced after the judgement is a ground for review
