The Lusaka High Court has sentenced a 25-year-old coxswain of Siavonga district in Southern Province to one year imprisonment with hard labour for causing the death of six members of the Seventh Day Adventist Church.
In this matter, Jonathan Haajaya, Osborne Mambo and Tyson Hachiyako were charged with manslaughter.
When passing judgement, Justice Kenneth Mulife discharged the second and third accused due to insufficient evidence and found Jonathan Haajaya guilty.
