Mzuzu Senior Resident Magistrate court has sent to jail a 25 year old man Junior Bwanali to 42 months imprisonment with hard labor for stealing a child contrary to section 167.

Passing the sentence yesterday, Senior Resident Magistrate Godfrey Nyirenda said that the convict deserves a stiffer punishment.
