The Ntchisi first grade magistrate court has sentenced a 42 year-old man to seven years imprisonment with hard labour for burglary.
The court heard that the convict Rodrick Lester on the night of 21 March 2016 at Malomo Trading Centre in the district broke into the house of Esnart Chikhokho with intent to steal.
The convict pleaded guilty to the charge of burglary which is contrary to section 309 of the penal code.
Passing judgement, first grade magistrate Dorothy Kalua said the offence is a serious one so the convict deserved a stiff punishment.
Kalua then slapped Lester with seven years imprisonment with hard labour to deter would be offenders.
Lester hails from Jamulesi village in the area T/A Chilooko in Ntchisi district.
