High Court overturns lenient sentence for armed robbers-cum-rapists in Zimbabwe, ordering case revisit with potential life sentences.

Zimbabwe's High Court overturned a lenient sentence for two armed robbers-cum-rapists, Wallace Kufandada and Takudzwa Pepukai. The original combined sentence of 6 years for robbery and 20 years for rape, running concurrently, was deemed too light by Justices Munamato Mutevedzi and Esther Muremba. The court has ordered the presiding regional magistrate to revisit the case, potentially imposing life sentences.
