What you need to know:

 A warrant of arrest was issued on November 3 for Kirabo, a former medical student at Makerere University. 

  • Kirabo failed to appear in court after more witnesses were brought in to testify against him over alleged murder of  Mirembe in July 2015.

The High Court in Mukono has ordered sureties of Mathew Kirabo, the man charged with the murder of his girlfriend, Desire Mirembe, to pay Shs50 million each for failing to produce him in court.

 

The non-refundable surety bond was paid on Wednesday afternoon by the three sureties, who included Kirabo’s mother Emelda Wabulendo, his uncle Benard Mbayo, and Ms Elizabeth Baleke, who replaced another surety that the family lawyer claimed had died.

 

Justice Isabirye Kaweesa, who presided over the session, on Wednesday said it is the sureties responsibility to produce Kirabo in court.
