Four Kenyans were Thursday afternoon found guilty of bombing a restaurant in Uganda during a World cup match in 2010.
Habib Suleiman Njoroge, Idris Magondu, Hassan Hussein Agade, and Mohamed Ali were found responsible for the murder of 74 people who lost their lives during the attack.
Appearing before Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo of Kampala High Court in Uganda, 13 suspects were awaiting a determination of the case which has been ongoing for the last 5 years.
Other Kenyans in the case, Muhammed Hamid Suleiman, Mohammed Awadh and Yahya Suleiman Mbuthia were acquitted of similar charges after Justice Dollo ruled that evidence submitted before the court was not sufficient to convict them.
During the hearing, the court also found Issa Luyima, a Ugandan, guilty of masterminding the attack with his counterparts having helped in executing the massacre.
The suspects were arraigned before the court under tight security with businesses and roads around the court being closed down, indicating the gravity of the highly awaited ruling.
In Uganda, a murder charge attracts death sentence by hanging, with the most recent execution being in 2015.
The suspects were arrested a few months after the twin blast that happened as revellers watched a World Cup football match in July 2010, an attack Al Shabaab militants claimed responsibility.
