On that date, the prosecution called their PW4 and close their case. On that same 30/11/2020, the Defendant open his defence and called one (1) witness and thereafter close his defence. The Defendant was the only witness who testified for defence, and the case was thereafter adjourned to 14/12/2020 for adoption of written address of counsel, but both counsel for the prosecution and the defence were not in court and so the matter was adjourned to 19/1/2021 for adoption of written address, but the adoption could not be made because both counsel did not file their written address, and so the matter was adjourned to 26/1/2021 for adoption of written address. On the 26/1/2021, defence counsel filed their written address which was served on the prosecution and so the matter was adjourned to 1/2/2021 for adoption of written address. Page 3 of 21
