Barely a week after Paul Magu’s family was laid to rest, a woman and her daughter have been accused of killing a 10-month-old infant and burying it secretly.

Reuben Kogi, Wangui’s brother, told the media that his mother and sister had been acting strangely before the child was reported missing. Kogi claimed, “It seems they were possessed by demons.”
