The Soroti Grade One Magistrate, Sarah Nantongo, has ordered the family of the late Dr. Godfrey Egwau to provide an authentic death certificate to confirm his passing.
Magistrate Nantongo ordered the family to provide a legitimate death certificate by December 10, 2025, to confirm Dr. Egwau’s death. She stated, “The family must present a death certificate to close this case. A letter from the LC 1 is not sufficient proof of death.” She stated
The law stipulates that if a person accused in a criminal case dies before a final judgment, the case is typically dismissed, thereby extinguishing both criminal and civil liability.
Dr. Egwau passed away on November 23, 2025, at the Kampala Cancer Institute. He was accused of malpractice following the death of his patient, Emmia Lucy Aluka, during childbirth.
