The Phalombe First Grade Magistrate’s Court has sentenced an 18 -year-old woman to two years imprisonment with hard labor for stealing a newly-born baby.
The court, through state prosecutor, Inspector Shadrach Wisiki, heard that Esther Brighton committed the offence during the night of August 29, 2020 at Holy Family Mission Hospital.
He said the suspect committed the offence after her newly born baby passed on and she was later caught by communities around the hospital.
