Defiler jailed for 15 years

Share


Lusaka High Court judge Florence Lengalenga has sentenced a 26 year-old man to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour for defiling a six year-old minor last year.

Judge Lengalenga sent Mutondo Masumba of Lusaka's Bauleni township to jail after the state proved that he defiled the minor between June 4th and 8th last year.

On the fateful day, after the mother of the minor had bathed her and released her to play, Mutondo asked her to escort him in the presence of her friends.

It was after the child followed him that he handed her sweets and defiled her.

The mother said she was informed by her daughter's friends that she had escorted an unknown man after noticing her daughter's absence from the premises where she was playing.

After her search proved futile she was informed by neighbours that her daughter had been taken to University Teaching Hospital (UTH) because she had been defiled.

The neighbours had noticed that the girl had blood coming out from her private parts and had bruises on her face and when they checked her they discovered that she had been defiled.

Judge Lengalenga is satisfied that the state had sufficiently discharged their burden of proving beyond reasonable doubt that he had defiled the minor and sentenced him to the minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years.

And Judge Lengalenga has sentenced three men aged 22, 28 and 36 to 15 years imprisonment with hard labour after convicting them of aggravated robbery case.

The trio, Chifundu Sakala 22, of Lusaka's George township, James Banda 28 of Kabanana township and David Jere of Lilanda township were facing one count of aggravated robbery contrary to the laws of Zambia.

Particulars of the offence are that the trio on May 16 this year while jointly and acting together with other persons unknown and whilst armed with iron bars and machetes, stole household goods from Harrison Sikasote worth over K7 million.

  1. The stupid fool deserves it, if given the authority, i would cut his manhood too. Should we be locking up our girl children all because of such stupid people – no, they are the ones to be locked up and the keys thrown where they will never be found.

  2. What more can we say apart from wishing the stupid bugger tough luck….he spoiled the young gal’s future.I wonder if she will ever recover from that torture.

  3. He deserves it but how will this trend stop?parents warn girl child not to trust strangers especially men as this is getting too common with male to female abuse by sexual intercourse with either under age or unwilling or contract at all among the party.

  4. I suggest parading such chaps naked mu ma publicc places with hoards of women whipping their arses, maybe the shame would deter others. Prison is , of course, a must

  5. HONESTLY SPEAKING, WHERE ARE WE HEADING TO? IT’S EVERY DAY THAT WE HEAR OF THESE DISGUSTING STORIES ABOUT THESE TRIGGER HAPPY, LIBIDO *****S DEFILING MINORS. STUPID *****S! I HOPE ONE OF THESE DAYS THE MINIMUM SENTENCE WILL BE 40 YEARS WITH HARD LABOUR.THESE SHORT SIGHTED FOOLS ARE A DISGRACE TO THE CREATOR OF MANKIND!

  6. the fact that we continue experiencing this trend means that the messege has not be sent and heard. the best is parade them naked, whip them and before sending them to jail, cut the manhood as long as evidence is 100% to avoid cutting then realize its not the person who chewed the unripe fruit.

  7. The fool should thank his lucky stars I’m not in any position to lay my hands on him, because if I had my way, I would make sure every piece of him that took part in that hideous act suffer one piece at a time before I get to his dick, to which I would do things that would make him beg for death. *****.

  8. abaiche balewamisha. once in a while we have to do them. And moreover abakalamba balekana ukutupela. nifyofine twakulaikatafye utwaiche
