Translation drama as Chinese man remanded for murder

Dai Jie Appearing Before Court.

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The Buganda Road Chief Magistrates Court has remanded a Chinese National for murder.

Dai Jie was on Thursday remanded by Chief Magistrate Ronald Kayizzi who didn’t read the charges against him because of the language barrier.

Dai Jie was brought to court by a police officer. In his hands was a phone that he used to browse some of the English words that were being said to him in court.

After browsing some of the words on his phone, he told the court that his lawyer only identified as Charles was not in Court.

The State Attorney Ivan Kyazze was forced to call a Chinese translator to ask Dai Jie which exact language he understands.  Dai mentioned the language that was put on the court record.

Chief Magistrate Ronald Kayizzi remanded Dai Jie to Murchison Bay Prison until August 14th, 2024 as they look for an Interpreter.

The prosecution alleges that on July 7th, 2024 at Haidah Plaza Ben Kiwanuka Street in Kampala District, with malice aforethought, Dai Jie caused the death of Yang Wen li. The Police said efforts to recover the killer weapon and the remains of the deceased were still ongoing.
