AN 84-year-old woman has been jailed for 30 days simple imprisonment for obtaining pecuniary advantage by false pretences.
In 2011, Elizabeth Maimbolwa sold a house at K110,000 but after the buyer made full payment, she rescinded her decision and only refunded K70,000.
Maimbolwa left a balance of K40,000, which she declined to pay.
In December 2013, Maimbolwa was jailed and sentenced to two years simple imprisonment by the Kitwe subordinate court, which was suspended on condition that she refunded the K40,000 she owed the complainant.
