Sheep sentenced to three years in jail for killing woman
In a bizarre case, a sheep in South Sudan has been sentenced to jail for three years after it was found guilty of killing a woman.
According to Sudan’s Eye Radio, the ram was taken into police custody in South Sudan earlier this month after it attacked 45-year-old Adhieu Chaping.
News reports indicate that the ram had headbutted Ms Chaping repeatedly, leading to the woman’s death because of injuries to her ribs. The ram was apprehended and taken into custody at a Police Station in Maleng Agok Payam.
An officer, speaking to the media, explained that the owner was innocent and “the ram is the one who perpetrated the crime so it deserves to be arrested then later on the case shall be forwarded to customary court where the case can be handed amicably.”
Local media reports indicate that the ram will be spending the next three years in a military camp in Aduel County headquarters in Sudan’s Lakes State. – ndtv.com
Four tricycle operators, popularly known as ‘Pragya’, have been prosecuted and fined GH¢600 each equivalent to 50 penalty units by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court for obstructing public roads at the Agbogbloshie Market.
The offenders, who were arrested by Public Health Officers of the AMA during a routine enforcement exercise, pleaded guilty to the offence and were subsequently convicted by the court.
The four operators were among the 21 offenders recently arrested at the Agbogbloshie Market for various sanitation and public order violations, including selling on open drains, obstructing walkways, and trading at unauthorised locations.
Speaking after the court proceedings, the Head of Public Health at the AMA, Madam Florence Kuukyi, said the court was lenient with the offenders since it was their first appearance, hence the fine, and warned that subsequent offenders would face stiffer penalties, including imprisonment.
