Bevon then collected a wooden bar he had on his bicycle and lashed him in his left eye. The man was hospitalized and subsequently lost sight in the eye.
The matter was reported and the trio was arrested and charged.
In court, Bevon begged for mercy stating that she is a single parent and is the mother of four children aged between two and 10. However, the magistrate looked at the severity of the crime and imposed the custodial sentence on the accused.
