Cow tongues cannulated with nails and screws. Another one wrapped around a knife. In addition 40 limes and other fruits, in which paper slips with the names of policemen, social workers and a public prosecutor were. Investigators were amazed at what they found in the freezer of the 37-year-old mother from Uganda. On the notes messages like "I freeze your mouth..." shut up, shut up" and "I make your life bitter". There was also a jar with a picture of a social worker in pepper found hidden behind the toilet in the bathroom. Another spell was hidden under the bed.
According to the authorities, police investigators should obviously be bewitched with voodoo spells. The mother, who is accused of having genital mutilated her then three-year-old daughter, tried to silence the police with magic spells. Her argumentation as to how the injuries occurred was also hair-raising. The woman and the father from Ghana claimed that their daughter had fallen on a piece of metal while trying to reach biscuits. The girl did not wear any underwear and injured herself.
Court experts, however, found that the nature of the injuries indicate FGM, probably inflicted with a scalpel. In addition, the meanwhile five-year-old girl testified to a carer that she had cut a woman while her two parents were holding her. Despite a great loss of blood, the girl was rescued in a London hospital. The trial continues.
FGM has been illegal in the UK since 1985, but there has never been a successful prosecution. That's why we demand: Stop this FGM madness!
