The wife of a former Toshao was on Wednesday charged with stealing her husband’s shotgun.
Christina Peters, 57, is accused of stealing a 12-gauge, pump action, shotgun valued at $120,000 and property of Albertino Peters.
The mother of six denied the allegation against her.
According to attorney Jerome Khan, who represented Christina Peters, the weapon was not stolen. The attorney added that on the day of the alleged incident, Peters was approached by persons in the village of Kurupukari who wanted to borrow the gun, to hunt wild boars in the area. Peters, believing that it was the community’s gun, loaned it to them.
