The court in Manafwa district has jailed Derrick Kuloba, aged 27, for raping and attempting to murder a 16-year-old girl, Evelyn Namasopo.

Kuloba was convicted last Friday by Manafwa Chief Magistrate Esther Nalungi, and yesterday he was sentenced to 15 years in prison and also ordered to pay Shs50 million as compensation to the family of Namasopo.
