A sheep has been sentenced to three years in prison for killing a 45-year-old woman in Africa’s South Sudan, reports NDTV.
The woman named Adhieu Chaping was attacked by the sheep repeatedly which eventually killed her.
According to the Indian media outlet, the sheep will spend its sentence in a military camp. Moreover, the court directed the owner of the sheep to give five cows to the family of the victim.
The police spokesperson said, “The owner is innocent and the sheep is the one that committed the crime so it deserves to be arrested. Later on, the case shall be forwarded to customary court where the case can be handled amicably.”
It has been reported that according to customary laws, the sheep will be given to the victim’s family as compensation after serving its sentence.
