Luweero Magistrates Court has convicted historian Muzeeyi Magala Balikyewunya of attempted murder arising from a land dispute in Nakaseke District in 2022, sentencing him to either pay a fine of Shs3 million or serve three years in prison.
The court also ordered Magala Balikyewunya to compensate the complainant, Alex Akandwanaho, with Shs30 million.
Under the compensation order, Magala is required to pay Shs20 million first, while the remaining Shs10 million must be cleared after one year.
The case stems from a land-related dispute that occurred in Nakaseke District in 2022, which resulted in criminal proceedings against the historian.
The court’s ruling brings the case to a significant stage, with Magala facing the alternative prison sentence if he fails to pay the court-imposed fine.
