Chikwawa Senior Resident Magistrate’s Court has sentenced Limbani Davison Piyano to 7 years imprisonment for sleeping with a minor.

State Prosecutor Sungeni Zambezi told the court that Piyano, in February this year, slept with a 16-year-old girl on multiple occasions and in the process impregnated her.

The pregnancy was later confirmed by authorities at Gaga Health Centre in the district where medical tests were done.

In his ruling, Magistrate Gift Msume slapped the convict with a 7 year jail term to deter potential offenders.

Piyano, 36, hails from Changoima Village, Traditional Authority Chapananga in the district.
