Soldier lashed for beating lover

According to the particulars of the case, the soldier’s girlfriend went to visit Bakilo at the barracks on Sunday evening to check on the couple’s two children. “He complained that the children had to be given better care.

I asked if it would not be better if I took the children, to give them the care they needed. “He said to be given assistance by the army, the children would have to change their surnames to his. We had an argument on the matter and he began assaulting me,” testified the complainant.
