A 70-year-old man received over 10 lashes of the cane after he was reportedly found with a stolen pumpkin.
The man who hails from Nyabubare, Kigarama sub-county in Sheema district allegedly stole the pumpkin from a neighbor. When the neighbour reported to the area LC1 chairman, it was resolved that the suspect be caned and let free.
The LC1 court did exactly that.
