Zomba Senior Resident Magistrate Court sitting in Mangochi on Friday sentenced a man aged 49 to 21 years in jail for kidnapping a child with albinism.
The convict Samson Allison kidnapped his four-year-old nephew who is a person with albinism.
Eastern Region Prosecution Officer Senior Superintendent Dickens Mwambazi told court that the convict together with his accomplice Jafali Ligomeka (44) connived to sell the boy to unknown culprits at a price of K6 million.
He further said that their mission was accomplished on November 20 during night time when the mother of the victim left the child in the hands of her mother and went to a funeral.
The two were later arrested but the buyers are yet to be arrested.
Appearing before court, first suspect Allison pleaded guilty to the charge of kidnapping whilst the second suspect pleaded not guilty for the offence.
Allison was convicted while his co-accused Ligomeka’s case went to trial and he is on remand.
In his submission, Senior Superintendent Dickens Mwambazi prayed for stiff penalty since the conduct of the convict is inhuman and cannot be condoned in the society.
In his ruling, His Worship Senior Resident Magistrate Chamdimba Nkhata sentenced Allison to 21 years imprisonment with hard labour to act as a ringing bell to would be offenders.
The convict hails from Village Tumbwe Traditional Authority Namavi in the district of Mangochi.

The child is alive according to the statement.
HE COULD JUST BEEN IMPRISONED FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. TKUDZIWA ZAAMALAWI, VERY SOON APASIDWA BAIL OUT.
Mwaganiza mopelewela man. Once one is convicted he/she loses a right to bail
Educate me u r saying once someone has been convicted he/she loses right to bail but why raiph kasambala is fighting for bail of which is already convicted
Mlaka Nyirenda kasambala is applying for bail because he appealed against the judgement that means the case is back for hearing hence he has right to bail
Admin, tell us, is the child alive?
Good
Good judgment lazy people deserve it they want to find millions through bad ways

Help me understand one thing here…Is the child alive or still missing/killed? This story pained me so much
The story clearly says kidnapping. If he was killed there would have been a charge of murder or manslaughter
Its not well known if the boy is stil alive or not but the boy is nowhwere to be seen till now and its not clear where those kidnappers did took the boy to
Shame to Malawians
