Residents of Marachi village in Busia District are in shock after a two and a half year old baby boy was killed by a strange girl. According to post mortem reports the baby’s body had no trace of blood in it, he also had three nail wounds on his neck.
Apparently the eight year old strange girl suspected of committing the crime had been rescued by the boy’s mother from the streets and she had housed her for only three days. According to the boy’s father they had gone to church on Sunday and left their son in the care of the girl.
On their way home from church his wife stopped to buy some vegetables while he proceeded home. On arrival he could not find the girl nor their son. He called out for them but his calls went unanswered.
After spending minutes searching through the house he noticed a bump on their matrimonial bed which was well spread. On uncovering the bed he found the baby lying dead. In panic he raised alarm and neighbors arrived at the home.
Shock gripped residents at the sight of the pale limb body of the two year old child. The child bore three nail marks on his neck and most residents quickly made the conclusion that it was a devil worshiper who had sucked the boy’s blood.
Elders and residents reported the matter to the police station and a post mortem report confirmed their fears as the doctor said there was no blood on the boy’s body and there was a possibility it had been sucked out in mysterious ways. The girl disappeared.
