A 27-year-old man of Kapiri Mposhi who admitted to causing the death of his aunt on suspicion of being a wizard has been jailed for nine years.
According to a report published by Zambia Daily Mail, the convict, Arnold Libindika, was initially arrested and charged with the murder of his aunt, Mary Kapufu, on November 26 last year.
However, before Kabwe High Court judge-in-charge Kelvin Limbani proceeded with sentencing him recently, the State applied to have the offence amended to manslaughter.
