Prosecutor Namaona added that the nurse rejected the business proposal and informed her authorities who later reported the matter to Malombe Police Unit.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing in court, both pleaded guilty to the charge of conduct likely to cause a breach of peace which attracts a maximum penalty of 3 months imprisonment with hard labour. In mitigations, both convicts asked for court\u2019s leniency saying they have family obligations.<\/p>\n<p>In his submission Prosecutor Namaona reminded the court that the convicts\u2019 behaviour could have jeopardised the nurse\u2019s job ethics and such behaviour cannot be tolerated in the society hence prayed for custodial penalties.<\/p>\n<p>Passing sentence First Grade Magistrate Roy Kakutu concurred with the state hence sentenced each of them to 3 months maximum penalty to serve as a deterrent to other would-be offenders. Both convicts hail from Chipole Village, Traditional Authority Chowe in Mangochi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
