the Kitwe High Court Judge Isaac Chali, in Zambia

the Kitwe High Court Judge Isaac Chali, in Zambia, sentenced a 23-year-old man to death, for murdering a cyclist. Nicholas Bwalya Mwabuka, who appeared to be deranged at the time, was charged with murdering Edward Mulenga in Kitwe on August 4, 2011. Mwabuka struck his victim on the head with a piece of wood, while walking around naked.
Mwabuka had pleaded insanity during trial but he was sent for expert examination and certified fit to stand trial. Slapping the sentence on the convict, Mr Justice Chali said: “I have considered the facts of the case and I don’t find any extenuating circumstances. I hereby sentence the offender to death and I direct that he shall be hanged by the neck until he is pronounced dead.”
