Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>The theft of a chicken valued at K130 has earned a 24-year-old Kapiri Mposhi man one-month imprisonment with hard labour. Before Kapiri Mposhi Resident Magistrate was Emmanuel Mabiko, unemployed, of Ndeke compound who was charged with and pleaded guilty to one count of breaking into a building with the intent to commit a felony therein.<\/p>\n

This is contrary to Section 303 of the Penal Code Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia. Facts before court were that on December 29, 2022 at around 20:00 hours Iford Mpubulu, the complainant in this matter, secured his chickens in the poultry and retired to bed.<\/p>\n

But on the following day around 06:00 hours the complainant discovered that one chicken was missing and the door to the poultry was tampered with. The complainant inquired from the neighbours who later helped to apprehend the now convict in the neighborhood after he was found in possession of the stolen chicken.<\/p>\n

The accused was later taken to Kapiri Mposhi Police Station where he voluntarily admitted having stolen the chicken. In mitigation, Mabiko asked the court to exercise leniency regretting having broken into the poultry and stealing the chicken.<\/p>\n

But in passing judgement Magistrate Kasongamulilo noted that breaking into a building and theft from therein was a serious offence which can aggravate and put the lives of both the owners of the property and convict at risk.<\/p>\n

\u201d See the danger you put yourself in what of if the owner harms you, what you did is very risking,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Magistrate Kasongamulilo however noted that the now convict was youthful and people at his age are prone to mistakes and as such he was entitled to lenience.<\/p>\n

\u201d I sentence you to one-month imprisonment with hard labour hoping you will use this period to reflect and repent to become a better person,\u201d Magistrate Kasongamulilo said.<\/p>\n
