A Nigerian couple in the U.K, Joseph and Gloria Musa were jailed for 7 years each for beating their children, claiming they were possessed by evil spirits! They beat their children with brooms, wires and hoovers and gave their one year old baby a morphine overdose which nearly killed her.
Five of the kids were rescued when when the eldest passed a heart wrenching note out through the window of their home. The note read '' my mum is the worst mum ever because she can't cope with the five of us, her broken hand and being pregnant, she always leaves me out, so i always starve and i am forced to work. if i don't get enough housework done, i am beaten without mercy with the wooden end of a broom. i have scars all over me to prove it. i can't stay here, i would like a new mum''. The note was found by a neighbor who called the police.
The couple claimed they were victims of a conspiracy and alleged that there was a witch-hunt against them by a prosecution witness, who they claim gave evidence because she wanted to ''steal'' their children away from them.
As they left court after the sentencing, the couple screamed their innocence ''we are innocent, this is a miscarriage of justice. The two will be deported back home after they serve their sentence.
