A-THIRTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD man of Chingola has been sentenced to 30 years imprisonment with hard labour for raping a 79-year-old woman while her husband watched.
High Court Judge Chilombo Phiri sent Webby Chibale to jail for rape after he admitted to the charge.
The Times of Zambia reports that the man told the court when the matter came up for plea, that he raped the woman in the presence of her husband because he suspected her to have bewitched his child.
He said the only punishment he thought was appropriate was to rape the woman in full view of her husband.
“I wanted to revenge because this woman bewitched my child. The only punishment I thought of was to rape her, while her husband watched,” he said.
In mitigation, Chibale asked the court to be lenient as he was a first offender, adding that he was remorseful for his actions.
Mr Justice Phiri, however, said that there were aggravating circumstances that surrounded the case in that Chibale raped an old woman.
“I will send you to jail for 30 years imprisonment with hard labour,” Judge Phiri said.
Chibale had sex with the old woman without her consent on January 27 this year.
On the material day around 20:00 hours, Chibale who went to the house of the complainant and found her with her husband, ordered the couple to enter the bedroom and threatened to kill anyone who would interfere.
Chibale then held the old woman by the neck, stripped her naked and raped her while her husband witnessed the act.
The court heard how Chibale raped the woman the whole night until the next day, while threatening her with a knife.
After the act the couple rushed to the police and the convict was arrested and charged for the rape offence.

Some people are really brutally, is this how to sort out an issue, what evidence did he even have about the bewitching…now he has bewitched his own family, poor child will be fatherless for money years to come, that’s a bigger blow..talk about punching yourself on the face
he is a complete lunatic.
Chumbu mulolwa
This is disgusting news! Where can anyone, especially the elderly, feel safe apart from one’s own house. The ldiot must rot in jail without the possibility of a presidential pardon.
What evil?? What reasoning? 30 years is a long time in a Zambian jail to think about ‘it’…rape is wrong, just tooooo wrong; but are men not aware how vicious the law is concerning rape in Zambia? Foolish man, God have mercy on him…
It looks like it was the rapist who was bewitched; his mitigation of revenge on an unproven accusation does not hold indeed.
The man is a beast. He should have been given life imprisonment or hanged to death. How does he rape the elderly woman in the presence of her husband. So demeaning. I read that he was even changing styles and teasing the old man if he knew those styles. Shame.
Completely wrong action, every man should be responsible for his bad decision. He shouldn’t even blame it on modern food though not mentioned in the article. What an imbecile and the all rotten brain he got.
Some acts like this require psychatric analysis before judgement as they are only imaginable in a movie. How better can one analyse such a beastly act? Lets unite to condemn it in the strongest terms possible.
How do you sustain an erection the whole night just to punish someone sure, was that really the motive, or he wanted to replace the dead child through another mother? The excuse of iwshing to revenge in this case does not hold water, and therefore, does not stand; there can never be a justification for such a pre-meditated act bwana Chibale!
And some stories are hard to believe – does it mean everyone was awake throughout the night, and the young man had his knife and the keys through and through, or the old couple was too scared of being killed by him anyhow?
This is hard to believe for sure, however it happened. How can he continue to punish the old lady the whole night with a knife in his hand, or its the kind of reporting. Was the husband tied while he was in the act the whole night? Anyway this guy is a fool. Where do you even get the appetite to sleep with an old woman in her eighties.
Am surprised that he can DARE to rape a so called witch. Am not buying this. I think it has more to do with being rich….
Rape your grandmother and you will be rich, kind of thing.
30 years is a long time mune. God have mercy on you.
LT goodmorning. I know you miss me participating. But am very busy with exams. There is nothing wrong with my post.
The justification is the worst I have ever heard. But he paid for it, thrown away his life.
This is worser than a xenophobic attack. This chap shud have been hanged!!!
This is total madness.This man is even married,women also.Iyi ni Silu.
How about hanging this fool by the neck?
…89 yr old….??…whole night…??…thank God this guy is not a pilot…..
79years!….. please go to SpecSavers!
…..@pretty…
…what is the difference….I could have written 100…same difference….the emphasis there is….an OLD woman….specSavers is even better…I advise YOU go for IQ test….
@Srutinizer ….. 10 years is a big difference. 89 yrs could have not survived the ordeal!
There’s my IQ.
Other inmates should sleep with one eye open. This chap is a social misfit, wherever he may be. I hope the Sentence he got was followed up with, No Parole.
Chibale is a disgrace and a misfit in society. The High Court Judge was is even lenient to slap that fool (Chibale) with 30 years imprisonment! It is really traumatizing to the husband of the old lady to see the wife in such a situation! How did Chibale know that the old lady bewitched his child? Was he told by a witch doctor or it was just suspicion?
Good let him rot in prison . In fact he should have been given a life sentence
The woman is a witch and sleeps **** young boys at night using witchraft the husband too ****ck young girls at night in whtchraft. Chibale was the victim of her witch sex so he wanted to revenge live in full view of the hub
