A 23-YEAR-OLD woman who killed a man by grabbing and squeezing his
scrotum and testicles was jailed eight years by the National Court in Kundiawa
on Tuesday.
In mitigation, Ruth Wemin said: “I am sorry to God, (Darua Joseph) Kuamainde’s
family and my family members. I did not mean to kill him. I ask for mercy and
for the court to give me a lesser penalty.”
Justice Daniel Liosi in jailing Ruth Wemin, from Gumine’s Korkoa village in
Chimbu, described the circumstance of the killing as “rare.”
“It was done by an attack on a vulnerable part of a man’s body. Whatever
categories of killing a person is charged with, the circumstances under which they
are committed will differ,” he said.
“This dictates what category of killing a person is charged with.
“But the end result is one.
“A life is lost for good.”
Wemin will spend six years and 10 months in jail after time spent in pre-trial
custody was deducted.
On Aug 31, 2020, Wemin slept with Kumainde in his house in Happ Wara settlement
in Kundiawa town.
In the morning, Wemin had an argument with Kumainde and grabbed both his
scrotum and squeezed them hard, causing his death. On Dec 6, Wemin pleaded guilty
to manslaughter.
She lives in Sigirap Market, Kundiawa town.
The court heard that she had never been to school.
She was involved in informal marketing, selling food items to sustain herself
and her family.
