Man beats sister-in-law to pulp because she didn't give his brother a child

Ojeriahi Victor, 30, yesterday, appeared before an Ogudu Magistrate’s Court in Lagos State for allegedly beating his elder brother’s wife to a pulp because she was barren. It was alleged that the accused told their neighbours that he beat up his sister-in-law because she had refused to give his elder brother a child after five years of marriage.

Ojeriahi, a businessman who lives on Ibefun Street, Alapere, is facing a one-count charge of assault occasioning harm.

The prosecutor, Mr. Lucky Ihiehie, told the court that the accused committed the offence on June 14 at the complainant’s residence.
Ihiehie said that the incident happened shortly after the complainant, a trader, came back from the market that night.

Ihiehie said: “She looked for the key where her husband normally kept it for her, but did not find it. As she waited outside for her husband to come back, her brother-in-law came into the compound.
“He walked to where she was standing and pushed her. She fell.”

The prosecutor, a sergeant, said that the accused took the torchlight the complainant was holding and started hitting her face.

“The accused beat her to a pulp until neighbours came to her rescue,” he added.

Ihiehie said that as soon as the complainant’s husband came back and saw what his younger brother had done, he confronted him and was about to beat him up when neighbours stopped him.
He said that the accused narrated to the neighbours that he beat up his sister in-law because she had refused to give his elder brother a child after five years of marriage.

The accused, who pleaded not guilty to the offence, alleged that the complainant refused to let him into the house when he came back from work.
The magistrate, Mrs O. S. Amzat, granted bail to the accused in the sum of N10,000 with two reliable sureties and adjourned the matter till July 17.

Ghana Crazy World: Mad man butchers, cooks, eats 14-yr-old girl in Ghana

A mentally deranged man has been arrested for butchering a 14-year-old girl and eating her flesh in Ghana.

A man who is suspected to be mentally deranged has been caught after he slaughtered a 14-year-old girl, cooked her and ate the flesh in what has sent shock waves down the spines residents of East Akyem municipality in the Eastern Region of Ghana.

Daily Guide reports that the girl identified as Docia Aina Adufa,  a primary six pupil of Akyem Asafo Presby Pri­mary, was captured by the mad man known as Yaw Akoto on her way to fetch water for her aunt, and butchered her.

After murdering the girl, the mad man, was said to have taken the body to the bush, cut it into pieces and cooked it and ate it with kenkey and banku, (A local Ghanaian delicacy).

The ugly incident reportedly happened on Tuesday, January 26, and her remains were not discovered until a week after with some parts, including the head, missing.

An uncle of the girl, Yaw Sarpong, confirmed the tragic incident to the media, saying that the mad man prepared the body for consumption.

“After searching for my niece for three days, we later found her body parts in the bush where that mad man lives. He had roasted some parts of the body while the rest was in a stew the mad man had prepared,” Sarpong said.

Sarpong added that the suspect fled the scene when he saw the search party only to be arrested the next day by the police.

A farmer reportedly spotted the parts of the body with gallons and leaves used to wrap banku and kenkey in a saucepan. The farmer then raised an alarm causing residents to troop to the bush to witness the horrific sight. He went to the Akyem Asafo police station to report the matter.
