Two witnesses in
the case of armed robbery and wounding Said Mrisho named Salum Njwete
alias Scorpion at the Ilala District Court as the person who stabbed him
and gouged his eyes. The two witnesses were named yesterday before the
Ilala Court Magistrate Flora Haule as Mrisho's wife, Stara Sudi, and
Yahaya Kisukari, who is his younger brother.
Earlier, Stara
alleged that on September 6, this year, around 11pm while asleep, she
heard her phone ringing and when she picked it, the caller was her
husband's voice who told her that he was in Buguruni, where he had been
stabbed and could not see.
Led by State
Attorney Nassoro Katuga, the witness further alleged that while still on
the phone, it abruptly disconnected and on calling again, a Good
Samaritan was on the line that her husband's condition was critical and
he was being rushed to Amana Hospital.
"I then told my
son, Abdul (12), that his father is sick and I am going to his
grandmother to inform her. I got on a motorcycle to Mabibo hostels to my
husband's parents, where we all later left for the hospital.
On the way I phoned
my brother-in-law Mr Kisukari and informed him as well," she explained.
She alleged that they found Mr Mrisho in the hospital ward with his
face, stomach and back all bandaged and his clothes as well stained with
blood.
Stara alleged that
they were given a referral to Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH), where
the complainant, Mr Mrisho and his brother, Mr Kisukari were transported
in an ambulance to the hospital.
On his part, the
second witness, Mr Kisukari alleged that he works with his brother, the
complainant in a salon in Tabata Sanene.
He alleged that his
brother told him the name of the person who damaged his eyes and as
well stabbed him in the stomach and back.
"I arrived at Amana
Hospital at midnight and they were waiting for me so that we could take
my brother to Muhimbili, where he was admitted in the emergency room
and immediate attention given," he explained.
