THE trial of a man accused of murdering his wife at their Southampton home is due to begin today.

George Kibuuka is alleged to have killed his 40-year-old wife Margaret – the mother of his four children.

He is due to appear at Winchester Crown Court this morning for the start of a case expected to last three weeks.

The 47-year-old denies the charge as well as three counts of administering a drug with intent to stupefy.

Mrs Kibuuka’s body was found at the family home in Richville Road, Shirley, on November 8 last year. She had been fatally stabbed.
