Traditional leaders in South Sudan have sentenced a ram to three years in prison for allegedly head-butting a woman to death.
According to reports, the deceased, Adhieu Chaping, 45, was allegedly attacked by a ram who repeatedly struck her in the chest before she died last weekend.

The ram will be forced to spend time in a military camp as part of its punishment.
It was also reported that the victim’s family will receive five cows from the ram owner as compensation for the death of their loved one.
“The ram attacked by hitting her ribs, and the old woman died instantly,” Sudan’s Eye Radio quoted Police Major Elijah Mabor as saying.
“So this is what happened in Akuel Yol, Rumbek East.
“As cops, our job is to keep people safe and separate fights.” The ram was apprehended and is currently being held at a Maleng Agok Payam Police Station.”
According to Ghanawish, authorities confirmed that the two families have agreed that the owner will give the deceased cow’s family the cows based on a local understanding put in place by community elders.
