CourtThe magistrate court in Mzuzu has sentenced a Malawian man to 21 years imprisonment for repeatedly defiling his six year-old daughter and infecting her with Sexually Transmitted Disease (STDs).

The victim died four weeks ago after succumbing to the infection but left full evidence to the court.

The convict has been identified as Daniel Mbukwa, 27. Passing his judgment, chief resident magistrate Texas Masoamphambe sentenced Mbukwa to 21 years in prison with hard labour and said the offender “deserves a stiff punishment as his offence invites a maximum of life imprisonment.”

Mbukwa hails from Miyombo village in the area of senior chief Kilupula in Karonga District.
