On 15th June, 2011, the appellants were caught in Rwashagi area within SENAPA in possession of one carcass of a zebra together with one knife, one spear, one bush knife and a motor cycle.

They were accused to have hunted the animal. This was a second appeal, the three accused persons were charges and convicted first in the Bunda District court, being aggrieved with the decision they appealed to the High Court Mwanza Registry, again the High Court disbelieved the accused and found the prosecution case proved beyond reasonable doubt.

The accused being aggrieved once again appealed to the court of appeal.
