THE Mansa High Court has sentenced a 37-year-old businessman to 30 years imprisonment with hard labour for attempting to sell his four-year-old son at K25,000.
High Court Judge Yvonne Chembe jailed Geoffrey Chongo of Munsanka Village in Mansa for facilitating the trafficking of human beings.
Between July 2017 and April 2018 in Samfya district, Chongo advertised or facilitated the sale of his son, Peter.
Judge Chembe found that Chongo communicated with a witchdoctor, identified as John Chishimba, to help him find a customer to buy his child.
