Ms Botika Maitinnara for Accused

SENTENCE AND REASONS FOR IT

Zehurikize J: I have considered submissions by both Counsel which I need not set out here save that he is a first offender who has pleaded guilty thereby saving the Court's time and scarce resources. He appears devastated by what happened. He sought reconciliation which was accepted.

In these circumstances I sentence the convict to a fine of $250 to be paid within a month from today and in default to serve one month's imprisonment.

Dated the 3rd day of July 2014

THE HON JUSTICE VINCENT ZEHURIKIZE
Judge
