A 55-year old woman, Fatima Tsaraka, has been arraigned before a court in Niger state, for allegedly killing her son. She was arraigned with 2 others, 65-year Amina Mohammed and 38-years Zhitsun Aliyu.

The victims were said to have abducted the boy, took him to a nearby bush where they slaughtered him, made a meal of his flesh and drank his blood. When the case was red to them, the accused pleaded guilty to the charges, however appealed for leniency and blamed their act on a spell cast on them by witches.

They are facing a three-count charge of criminal conspiracy, culpable homicide and cannibalism.

At the resumed hearing of the case, the Magistrate, Mr Hamidu Bima, ordered the continued detention of the accused pending legal advice from the State Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
