In many parts of the world, authorities are soft on crime. Not in South Sudan:

A ram in South Sudan will spend three years at a military camp as punishment for killing a woman earlier this month, according to multiple reports.

Speaking to local media, Major Elijah Mabor said the ram attacked 45-year-old Adhieu Chaping by hitting her repeatedly in the ribs. She later died as a result of her injuries.

Following the attack, the ram was apprehended and placed under police custody, LADbible said.

Seems like a proportionate sentence.

That's not the only consequence of the ram's homicide, however:

Despite being "innocent," a local court ruled that the ram's owner, Duony Manyang Dhal, will be forced to hand over five cows to the victim's family as compensation.

Well, that's...that's one way to arrange your justice system, I guess.

I guess you could call it "restimootion." Oookay I'm sorry, I had to take that one.
