The siblings have been hauled before a magistrate and
charged with incest. According to B Metro, the boy has described the sexual
relationship as “mind-blowing”. The girl is said to be five months pregnant.
The court heard that sometime in August 2023, the boy (name
withheld) who was sexually attracted to his younger sister who also cannot be
named to protect her identity, proposed love to her and she agreed.
The two were staying together with their parents when they
formed a highly unusual bond that led to sexual encounters several times. It
was proved in court that again on an unknown date but sometime in January this
year the boy asked his younger sister to have sexual intercourse with him and
she agreed.
The two then entered into one of the bedrooms and had
sexual intercourse twice. The illicit affair, however, came to light in March
this year when it was discovered that the boy’s younger sister was pregnant. Questioned
by her mother, she disclosed that it was her elder brother who was responsible
for the pregnancy. Shocked by the revelations, the mother reported the matter
to the police leading to the arrest of the siblings.
The boy was sentenced to 12 months in prison of which four
months were suspended for five years on condition that he does not within that
period commit any offence involving sexual intercourse within a prohibited
degree of relationship, for which upon conviction, he will be sentenced to
imprisonment without the option of a fine. The remaining eight months were
suspended on condition that he completes 280 hours of community service at
Mawabeni Clinic.
His younger sister received a six-month sentence, fully
suspended for five years, with similar conditions regarding offences involving
sexual intercourse within a prohibited degree of relationship.
