A plea that he has two wives and ten children and that all the wives are pregnant did not save a man in Machinga district as he was still sent to jail.
The man, 45 year-old Mussa Kachepa, was on Thursday sentenced to 10 years for the offence of selling human bones which is contrary to section 16 of Anatomy Act.
In court, assistant prosecutor Lungu based at Eastern Region Headquarters said that on 8th June 2016 the accused was seen bringing a travelling bag to his house.
“A woman in the district asked him what was inside the bag, but he answered nothing,” Lungu told the court.
The following day the accused took the travelling bag and buried it in a nearby bush for safe keeping. The woman secretly exhumed the bag and discovered that there were human bones.
The woman informed the police who arrested the suspect and recovered 9 pieces of human bones. The accused admitted that he wanted to sell them to a certain lady from Liwonde township.
Prosecutor Lungu asked court to impose a stiff punishment to the convict saying such offences are rampant in Machinga District and that it is a taboo to sell human bones.
In mitigation the convict prayed for a fair punishment for he is married with two wives and ten children and that all the wives are pregnant.
When passing judgment Chief Residence Magistrate Agness Patemba said people with albinism are living in fear because of people like Kachepa.
She then sentenced him to 10 years in jail with hard labour. Mussa Kachepa halls from koliha village T/A Kawinga in Machinga.

Thanx bru. They must tel the court where and how they get those bones. U might find that they are part of albino killing syndicates.

Bible linakamba kale kuti masiku otsiliza anthu azankhala ,aliwuma, wokonda ndalama, ozikonda okha, osaweluzika.
Amagulitsa kwandani?
