A Kenyan lady is being held by police in Seville, Spain, on suspicion of attempted murder.
The 45-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released, is said to have bitten off and eaten two of her Congolese roommate’s fingers in order to exorcise her after believing she had been “possessed” by bad spirits.
According to the Spanish newspaper Diario de Sevilla, the Kenyan lady was attempting to disembowel her accused victim by pushing the stone into her anus, which she had previously used to assault her.
According to the publication, the attack took place on September 18th at their Poligono Norte flat in the sight of the suspect’s six-year-old daughter.
Officers responded to the apartment after getting a tip from neighbors and discovered the suspect on top of her 48-year-old victim, who was bleeding heavily.
According to preliminary findings, the incident began when the Congolese lady flung a bottle of salty water at the suspect.
The Kenyan lady allegedly slammed a huge stone against the Congolese woman’s head before tossing her to the ground and chewing off two of her fingers.
The victim was taken to the hospital for emergency care, while the suspect was taken to a mental unit and detained.
The woman was taken to the hospital for emergency surgery.
The inmate was sent to another hospital’s mental unit, but after being freed, he is anticipated to be returned to prison.
Her schoolgirl daughter has been placed in the custody of the local authority.
It was unclear whether the procedure to save the wounded woman’s fingers was successful, or how well she was healing from her trauma, as of today.
It’s also unclear when the suspect will appear in a private court session before a judge.
Police in Seville have yet to issue an official statement.
