A 45-year-man in Machinga has been sentenced to eight years imprisonment with hard labour for defiling his 13-year-old sister in-law.
Machinga senior resident magistrate Mohammed Chande has thrown Emmanuel Foster into the jail for defiling his 13-year-old daughter in law.
The court heard through state prosecutor Aida Mzama that the convict defiled the girl on November 21, 2020 at Unenenji village in the district.
She said the victim was staying with the convict who is a husband to her sister.
On the particular day, the victim’s sister went to the market and left her husband with the young girl at home.
