Baby Sagini tragedy shows the fear, hate and isolation our families suffer

Found guilty earlier for conspiring and causing grievous harm to the three-year-old, the magistrate noted that the incident had changed not only the life of baby Sagini, but also the family and the community of Ikuruma location forever.

The case still reads like fictional horror. Brighton was found lying within his homestead with both eyes gorged out. Presumed dead, he had been stuffed in a gunny bag, placed under a bed, and left for the night.
