Convicted 'abductress' to know her fate today

Yesterday, attorney Duma Boko said in court that a non-custodial sentence did not mean that the convict (Sekgoma) would have gone unpunished. Boko was mitigating on behalf of Sekgoma who was found guilty of abducting a 7-year old boy four years ago.

Boko told the court that Sekgoma and the complainant's father had had a long relationship, hence she acted in desperation when things did not go her way. The court heard that on the day the boy was abducted, Sekgoma had gone to serve the father of the complainant with a court order demanding maintenance from him.
