The Appellant was charged and convicted of murder by the High Court of Tanzania at Babati (Arusha Registry). She was sentenced to suffer death by hanging. Aggrieved by the finding of the trial High Court, she has preferred this appeal in this Court. The conviction of the Appellant was based on circumstantial evidence. The Appellant denied to have murdered the deceased. Before going into the merits of the case the court noted one procedural irregularity that, after both sides had made their final submissions, the learned trial Judge briefly adjourned the case so as to enable her sum up the case to the assessors. It is the mode of summing up the case to assessors which prompted the court to seek the views of the counsel for the parties as to whether the way the summing up was done was proper.
