SENTENCE In3">In the case 49/1997 against Paul Ware, Sumu Yoba and Berry Charlie were arraigned as follows:
Count 1: That Paul Ware and Sumu Yoba were charged that sometimes on the 1st February 1997 they unlawfully entered the Apostolic Life Ministry with the intent to steal, an offence against Section 143 of the Penal Code Act and
Count 2: And at Tebakor on the 1 st February 1997 stole property, 1-16 channel Mixer, 1 Power Amplifier, the property of the Apostolic Life Ministry and
Count 3: Being that Paul Ware, Sumu Yoba and Berry Charlie in the month of March 1997 all unlawfully entered the Apostolic Life Ministry Church with the intent to steal, an offence against Section 143 of the Penal Code and
Count 4: That in March 1997, Paul Ware, Sumu Yoba and Berry Charlie, they all stole property, 2 speakers, 3 mic- stand, 1 base guitar and a mixer, the property of Apostolic Life Ministry.
On arraignment all Defendants pleaded guilty in respect of the charges put to them.
On this plea the counsel has no application. I have considered the respective statement on the various offence and all three Defendants in their respective statements admitted committing such offence and for these reasons, I am satisfied that the facts disclose the offence they are charged with and, therefore, accept the plea of guilty on each charge and find them guilty each.
Case No 50 of 1997.
The Court proceeded to take the plea on Count 1 and 2 on Case No. 50.
Count 1: That Jonathan Wako, John Nase, Berry Charlie, Sumu Yoba and Paul Ware that sometime on the 21st April 1997 at Tebakor, Vila, they unlawfully entered Fung Kwei Hardware with the intention to steal, an offence against section 143 Penal Code Act and
Count 2: That on the 21st February 1997 stole electrical equipment valued at 1, 225, 900 vatu, the property of Fung Kwei in offence against section 125 (a) of the Penal Code.
Each Defendant pleaded guilty to both charges. No application by the counsel as to the plea. Court allows address in sentence.
On adjournment for decision I have considered the statement and satisfied that all Defendants admitted in committing the offences and I am satisfied that the statement therein disclose both offences and, therefore, I accept the guilty plea and I find all five Defendants guilty as charged.
Allocatus: The counsel was to speak on behalf of the Defendant as they have right to do so and thereby address the Court on sentence.
In this matter, Case No. 49/1997, there was a group of unlawful entry and stealing by the three Defendants. In counts 1& 2 only Paul Ware and Sumu Yoba were involved while Count 3 & 4 Berry Charlie was also involved with the other two on unlawfully entry and steal. Both offences were committed at the Apostolic Life Ministry whereby musical intruments were stolen and as Paul Ware stated in his statement that at about 17.30pm on the 21st April 1997, he went into Fung Kwei and hide himself before the office closed for business at about 19.30 hours and then in the early hours of the 22nd April 1997, all four Defendants came to help him on the removing of stolen instruments.
LAW.: Section 143
Under section 143 of the Penal Code Act, if any person enter a building with an intention to commit a crime therein, then he is guilty of an offence and
Under section 125, if that person steal any property then he she is guilty of the offence of stealing.
Under Section 143, if the offences committed in a dwelling house, then they shall be imprisoned for a period of 20 years and if any other place, then 10 years imprisonment is the maximum.
For stealing under Section 125 (a) of the Penal Code Act, the maximum penalty is 12 years imprisonment.
In their case, they broke into a building and therefore 10 years is the maximum.
I have stated earlier in one of my sentencing reasoning in Case No. 61/1997 that the crime of break & enter and stealing is on the rise and the Court must play its role in protecting the society from such crime and gave a statistic of its effect. And I further stated that mostly age of youth commit such crime. If this is so then, the parents mostly and their respective chiefs should take effective role in involving themselves in reducing such crime.
Vanuatu is vulnerable to cyclone attack and therefore most building are built very low and if that is so then it is vulnerable to criminal to easily gain access to building and enjoy what they can hold on.
I have stated earlier that Vanuatu is a small country with a small population of about 162, 000 inhabitants and such crime should be immediately treated with some consideration, by the Government and private sector and the community at large. As the saying, prevention is better than curing.
In mitigation, the counsel submitted that all Defendants are all youth of Tanna and related to each other. And they were playing together in musical group, playing in the villages where Paul Ware was the leader.
They came to town after a failed MP promise to pay musical instruments for them and when this fail, they then came to town. In town they committed these crimes and stole mostly musical instruments. And most items were returned already in good condition to the Apostolic Life Ministry and also Fung Kuei.
The prosecution also submitted that most item were returned and they are in good condition.
I have also considered your respective antecedent as submitted by your counsel in mitigation.
For sentence the Court should consider what is an appropriate sentence, in circumstance. In imposing an appropriate sentence the court consider that a punitive penalty will be the most appropriate penalty in contrast to other form of penalty e.g. cautionary or retribution or rehabilitation sentence. Also in sentencing I also take into consideration Section 38 of the Penal Code Act in sentencing of young offenders under the age of 16 years and mainly referring to Defendant Sumu Yoba who is 16 years old. For these reasons a custodial sentence will only be the most appropriate penalty for such offences and therefore make the following orders of sentencing:
