A sheep has been sentenced to three years in jail after it was found guilty of killing a woman.
The ram was arrested by police in South Sudan earlier this month after attacking Adhieu Chaping, who later died of her injuries.
Police chief Major Elijah Mabor said: "The ram attacked by hitting her ribs and the old women died immediately. So this is what happened in Rumbek East in a place called Akuel Yoi.
"Our role as police is to provide safety and separate fights. The ram was apprehended and currently under custody at a Police Station of Maleng Agok Payam."
Major Mabor also explained why the ram has been punished for the crime rather than its owner.
He said: "The owner is innocent and the ram is the one who perpetrated the crime so it deserves to be arrested then later on the case shall be forwarded to customary court where the case can be handled amicably."
The animal will now spend the next three years in a military camp in Aduel County headquarters in Sudan's Lakes State.
He was sheepish so got a reduced sentence I guess
