In South Sudan, a ram was imprisoned for murder.

The court sentenced the ram to three years in prison for the murder of 45-year-old Adye Chaping. The animal will serve time at the Aduel County military base. According to investigators, the ram hit the African woman several times with his head and broke her ribs. The woman died on the spot from her injuries. As compensation, the court also ordered the owner of the ram to give five cows to the family of the deceased. Once imprisoned, the guilty animal will most likely be handed over to the victims, as required by local law.
