Indian Rape: Suspects Beaten By Angry Mob After 7-Year Old Girl Is Found Hangin From A Tree
One man was killed and two others were badly hurt today by villagers in India who accused them of raping and hanging a seven-year-old girl. The girl was discovered hanging from a tree near the village of Kaliabazar, West Bengal, this morning and angry villagers quickly rounded up a local 'Tantrik' holy man and his two friends.
The trio were mercilessly beaten. One later died in hospital and the two others are still being treated.
It was a grim reminder of the recent gang-rape case in Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, where two sisters were raped and then hanged from a tree outside their village.
After a string of high-profile cases, India has become notorious for savage sexual attacks on often young women and girls.
However, the number of rapes recorded in the country is still far lower than countries such as the U.S. and UK, according to figures from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime.
The victim in the most-recent case had gone missing last night, after apparently going out to the neighbourhood shop.
The Hindustan Times reports that people went around the village to gather a search party, which found her body handing from a tree.
Word spread and rumours began circulating that she had been gang-raped, spurring villagers to round up Ratan Das, a local Tantrik, or Hindu witchdoctor, and two of his associates.
The mob beat up the men and also set fire to a house belonging to Das, who had been seen with the victim yesterday morning. Then they went to police.Sukesh Kumar Jain, East Midnapore Superintendent of Police, told the Hindustan Times: 'The father of the girl lodged a complaint at the local police station against three persons.'
One of the three accused has already died.'
There is as yet no evidence that the girl was raped before she was killed. Police said they are not ruling out a family feud as the motive behind the killing.'We are awaiting the autopsy report to confirm rape,' said a police officer. 'There was also some enmity between the families of the girl and the prime accused, Ratan Das.'

The police also paraded a man said to be an accomplice, having accommodated the suspects in Tabira village, though the man denied knowledge of the business Kareem and Ladan were involved in.

Video Shows How Boko Haram Beheaded Nig Air Force Officer
Sahara Reporters shared a video which showed a Nigerian Air officer identified as Umar Abubakar being interrogated and later gruesomely murdered by Boko Haram men in Borno state. The sect men then paraded with his head in a jubilant display.
The victim, who was extensively interrogated before his gruesome killing, identified himself as Umar Abubakar, disclosing that he was a member of Section 9 of the Nigerian armed forces engaged in counter-insurgency measures against Boko Haram.
In the video clip, the insurgents asked their victim to state his monthly pay to which he replied N40,000. He also disclosed that his commanding officer was a 2nd lieutenant. The insurgents displayed their victim's identity card, chanting that the world should know that Allah had given them an enemy.
"So you were sent to kill Boko Haram? And you are serving the state instead of Allah? We are members of Jama'atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda'awati Wal-Jihad and Allah has given us an infidel today," one of the Islamist sect's leaders said in the video.
Thinking that reprieve would come his way, the captured military operative proclaimed himself a Muslim of Jama'atu Izalal extraction, but the insurgents, who spoke Hausa mixed with Kanuri, dismissed his plea. Their leader said: "No amount of prayers will save you, we will judge you according to the Quran."To the chants of Allahuakubar, the insurgents decapitated the hapless officer. After beheading their victim, the terrorists held up his severed head in jubilation as one of them used a mobile phone to film the gory scene. The victim's headless body can be seen on the ground in a pool of blood, his hands tied with a rope.
You can always watch the video on youtube because I couldnt watch it nor upload it due to it disturbing and sad.

The Defence Headquarters has announced the arrest of a man who specializes in creating panic by sending out text messages threatening attack by Boko Haram terrorists.
The suspect, Ugwu Lawrence (pictured) who was tracked by security operatives after dispatching text messages of impending bombings of some hotels in Abuja, confessed that he employed the gimmick because the management of one of the organisation failed to offer him employment.
The suspect further confessed that his motive was a ploy to instil fear in the mind of the management’s chairman, and pleaded that he is actually not a terrorist. The suspect is still undergoing further interrogation preparatory to prosecution.

Dad Rapes And Impregnates 16-Year Old Daughter
In what may sound like a scene in a badly scripted movie, a 45 year old man, Ahmed Akintola, in Ibadan, Oyo State, has been arrested for raping and impregnating his daughter who is 16 years old and in secondary school.
The randy dad who, according to reports, has been flexing his muscles on his young daughter who is now four months pregnant, has been sent to prison to the Agodi prison for the offence.
While begging in court for forgiveness, Akintola blamed the devil for his actions and asked his daughter to forgive him.
The girl told the court that her father who lives with his family in a one room apartment in the town, used to come down from the bed every night to force himself on her and warned her never to tell her mother or he would kill her.
The evil deed was only brought to the fore when the girl got pregnant and was forced to tell who was responsible for her pregnancy. That was when she revealed that her blood father was the one who put her in the family way.
What should be done to such a father?

President Jonathan Cancels Meeting With Parents Of Missing Chibok Girls
According to a report by BBC, President Jonathan has cancelled his proposed meeting with parents of the missing chibok girls after accusing #BringBackOurGirls campaigners of playing politics.
Jonathan had been due to meet with the parents of the victims today but he canceled it last minute, saying the #BringBackOurGirls group should be ashamed of manipulating "the victims of terrorism"
Unfortunately, political forces within the Nigerian chapter of Bring Back Our Girls have decided to take this opportunity to play politics with the situation and the grief of the parents and the girls. They should be ashamed of their actions. Those who would manipulate the victims of terrorism for their own benefit are engaging in a similar kind of evil: Psychological terrorism," President Jonathan said in a statement.
Rapper Andre Johnson Is Now Penisless
Here's an update on rapper Andre Johnson who made headlines this past April when he cut off his own penis and jumped off a building. He survived that mess but he's now penisless!
Yesterday Andre spoke to E! News exclusively about why he cut off his penis...and how he's living life without it.
"Yes, I was using drugs that night, but I was in complete control. I cut it off because that was the root of all my problems. My solution to the problem was the realization that sex is for mortals, and I am a god...Those kinds of activities got me into trouble, and I came here to be a god."
There were reports that doctors were able to reattach Andre's penis, but he said that isn't true.
"Doctor's weren't able to repair anything. But, it still gets hard, the little bit that I got. I still got some penis that works. It's not the size of the prize, it's the motion of the ocean. There's no mystery to it, but they couldn't reattach it.
A penis is a penis is a penis.""I wasn't having that much sex up to that point anyways. My days of reproducing are over. But now I'm a reborn man." Continue...Andre recalls the incident...
"I didn't want to kill myself. That was just my response to the demons. They were doing their best to get to me, but being alive solidified my thoughts...I'm alive, penis or no penis.""I had a psychologist I was seeing after I was released from hospital but I was quickly okayed after they said I had all my marbles...the lights were on in the attic.
"People perceived me as crazy, so I never wanted to speak wholeheartedly on the matter. But now, in retrospect, the truth must be told.
"Me and RZA (his music label) came to an understanding. I still write music, but I love comedy and we're going to have a Wu-Tang writing team. I'm going to do stand up along with making music."
