The Lusaka High Court has sentenced Silvia Mutaba to 15 years imprisonment for causing the death of her husband, whose remains were discovered in skeletal form in 2025.
The court heard that the deceased’s body was found in a decomposed state, reduced to a skeleton, after his brother raised concern over his sudden disappearance. Investigations were launched, leading to the discovery of the remains.
Following the recovery of the skeletal remains, forensic examinations were conducted to confirm the identity of the deceased and establish the circumstances surrounding his death.
After considering the evidence presented, the Lusaka High Court convicted Mutaba of causing the death of her husband and handed down a 15-year custodial sentence.
