During his defense, Owino argued that on the day of the alleged offense, his gun malfunctioned, making it impossible for it to have fired the bullet in question.
He contended that the bullet could have originated from another firearm.
The trial magistrate, Bernard Ochoi, presided over the proceedings, which revealed Babu Owino’s significant financial contributions towards DJ Evolve’s well-being.
