Man gets jail sentence for damaging vehicle over cheating girlfriend

Published by

THE LIVINGSTONE Magistrates Court in Zambia has jailed a man of Lusaka who vented the anger of his unfaithful girlfriend on a Zesco vehicle.

After driving all the whole night to Livingstone ,hoping for a blissful time with his lover, Gilbert Lungu of house Number 34, Mpulungu road, Olympia Park, was disappointed to find a Zesco electrical technician, Patrick Maswikemi had been working on Susan Chewe the whole night.

On the fateful day, Lungu arrived at Susan’s house in Kazungula Area around 6:00 am and knocked, hoping to see her open the door in her night dress.

Gilbert however got the shock of his life when a shirtless and exhausted-looking Patrick clad only in a boxer opened the door to Susan’s house.

Unable to stomach the fact that Patrick had taken his place in Susan’s bed while he fought off sleep to arrive in Livingston alive, Gilbert attacked his rival.

Too tired from the previous night activities, Patrick instead took to his heels leaving behind a Toyota Hilux, a company vehicle he had arrived with the previous evening.

Gilbert then turned his anger to the parked vehicle damaging two of its lamps, radiator, two mirrors bonnet, fuel tank, wind shield and door.

The matter was reported to the police who investigated the matter and found  Gilbert wanting.

In court, the magistrate, Ireen Wishimanga found  Gilbert guilty of causing damage worth K23,000 to the Zesco vehicle.

Wishimanga said she consideredGilbert’s mitigation and that he was a first offender.

“I hereby sentence you to 18 months imprisonment with hard labour.

“You are also ordered to ensure that the vehicle is repaired forthwith,” Wishimanga ruled.
