The Applicant and his wife were later arraigned in the High Court of Tanzania at Bukoba and charged with the offence of murder, contrary to Section 196 of the PenalCode. 6. On 2 October 2015, the High Court acquitted the wife but convicted the Applicant and sentenced him to death. The Applicant subsequently appealed to the Court of Appeal of Tanzania, but the Court dismissed his appeal for lack of merit, in its judgment delivered on 25 February 2016. B. Alleged violations 7. The Applicant alleges that the Court of Appeal's judgment was rendered on the basis of evidence derived from statements of Prosecution Witnesses which were marred by inconsistencies and "manifest errors patent in the face of the records". ln this regard, he contends that the Court of Appeal misdirected itself by dismissing his grounds of appeal without giving them due consideration by relying on incriminating evidence obtained from an "untruthful" witness. 8. The Applicant consequently submits that the Court of Appeal's wrongful dismissal of his Appeal violated his rights under Article 3(1) and (2) and Article 7(1)(c) of the Charter. @_
