I don’t know what came in my mind [because] she (the owner) did not owe me any money,” Michelo admitted.And Malambo said she only stole four blouses.She said she, together with Michelo, stole the said blouses while packing the clothes.And Malama, the garden boy, said he was just called and given the alcohol.He said he didn’t know that the alcohol was stolen.The court, however, entered a plea of guilty for the first and second accused, and a plea of not guilty for the third accused.The matter has since been adjourned to August 9, 2018, for sentencing and explanation of facts.The two maids remain remanded in custody, but bail for the garden boy has been extended.Source: Lusaka Times Post Views: 1
