A 22-year-old Malawian national will serve a prison sentence of 15 years in Zambia after High Court jailed him for indecent assault. According to The Post newspaper of Zambia, the Malawian is Yandikani Sunthika who committed the offence on February 18, 2008 in Nabvutika Compound. The Malawian was prosecuted in the Magistrate court but was sentenced at Lusaka High Court.
