Gumbura’s sentence too harsh: PG

THE Prosecutor-General’s Office yesterday conceded that the 40-year effective jail term imposed on RMG End Time Message leader, Robert Martin Gumbura, for rape was too harsh.

Prosecutor, Editor Mavuto, made the concession while making submissions before High Court judges, Justices Charles Hungwe and Edith Mushore, at the hearing of Gumbura’s appeal against both conviction and sentence.

Judgment on the appeal was reserved.
