The Mazabuka High Court has sentenced a traditional doctor to 20 years imprisonment with hard labor for defiling his patient who was left in his care for treatment.
Byta FM Court Journalist reports that the victim’s parents entrusted her to his care.
Oswald Musonda was charged with defilement.
In mitigation, Musonda expressed remorse and regret through his lawyer, stating that he hoped to become a better person in society.
However, the court noted that Musonda had broken the trust placed in him to care for his patient, thereby tarnishing the image of other well-meaning traditional healers.
