The Lusaka High Court Keith Mukata to death after finding overwhelming evidence that he had shot the guard.

 

Keith Mukata’s lover and co accused Charmaine Musonda was acquitted due to lack of evidence.

 

They were arrested last May after the guard was shot.

Lusaka High Court Judge Susan Wanjelani says there is overwhelming evidence that Mukanta fully intended to kill the guard.

 

Through his lawyer, Mukata asked for a lesser sentence because  is a first offender and has too many responsibilities.

 

Sympathisers began wailing as Wanjelani  delivered her judgement to a packed court room.

Death sentences are generally commuted in Zambia to life imprisonment.
