'Witchcraft' couple found guilty: Kristy Bamu left to drown after brutal torture
Kristy Bamu, a boy who thought he would spend a nice Christmas with his sister Magalie, and her partner Eric Bikubi, in 2010. It turned out very different. After a couple of days with his family his sister and her partner accused him of witchcraft. They thought he had cursed another family member. They tortured him with knives, sticks, metal bars, and a hammer and chisel. On Christmas day they put him into a bath, “to wash away the witchcraft”, he pleaded for death, and they left him to drown. The accused “denied murder” but they were found guilty. Words: 99
Opinion
This is a very heavy article. I can’t believe that people believe in witchcraft. I also think it is terrible you can abuse and torture your family like this. This people should have protected him, they should have looked after him. He trusted them. And Christmas is a family feast, you should love your family and have fun with them. In a video of a statement there was said that the victim had 150 injuries of the torture. I can’t believe these things happen and I get really angry when I read these kinds of stories. Words: 96
In intense article, indeed. I also can't believe people would do something like that to their family members, with such wild accusations as someone using witchcraft. It's completely ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI think you wrote a good summary, though I wonder if you read more articles about what happened and used that information too? Also, check your punctuation, and in your opinion you say "this people". I figured I would point those out to you to improve your writing. Otherwise, good job!
