Chiluba Jr 32 was convicted for theft of a cellphone, brand Samsung S7 valued at K8,500 ($850).
Delivering the verdict, Magistrate Nthandose Chabala said the presecution team had proved the case beyond reasonable doubt and he sentenced the former president’s son 8 months imprisonment with hard labour.
Chiluba junior allegedly stole Brenda Chisha’s phone in September last year.
During trial, Chisha told Magistrate Chabala that she met Chiluba in Woodlands around 18:00 hours on September 2, 2017 and he asked to use her phone.
“I have known him for years and it was an S7 so I gave him and he used it for two minutes then gave it back to me. About 10 minutes later, he came and asked to use the phone again and I gave him but he started moving further and further away from where we were. I then asked Isaac, who will be a witness to get my phone from him and that was the last time I saw the phone,” Chisha narrated.
“On Sunday he was caught and taken to Kabwata Police. When I asked him where the phone was, he said he had forgotten it somewhere. That same day, the uncle came and assured me that they would buy me another phone.”
