Boy 'tortured over witch claim'

A teenage boy was tortured and drowned on Christmas Day because a relative believed he was a witch, the Old Bailey has heard.

Kristy Bamu, 15, was in such pain after days of being attacked with sticks, a metal bar, hammer and chisel that he begged to die, jurors heard.

His brother-in-law Eric Bikubi was joined by his partner, Kristy's sister Magalie, in the horror, said Brian Altman QC, prosecuting. And his other siblings were forced to join in before they were all placed in the bath to be hosed down in cold water with a shower head by Bikubi on December 25, 2010, the court heard.

"It was only when he realised that Kristy was not moving that he stopped what he was doing and pulled him from the water. By then it was too late," said Mr Altman.

Magalie Bamu and Bikubi, both 28, of Hathaway Crescent, Newham, east London, deny murdering Kristy. Bamu also denies two charges of causing actual bodily harm to her sisters.

The youngsters had arrived from their home in Paris to spend the festive season with the couple.

It's really really sad to kill someone thinking they are a witch.

Im getting alarmed by these African magic rituals
There have been kids found dismembered...and they will think nothing of cutting limbs off albino people to use in their spells. Goodness only knows what goes on when they are allowed to operate in lawless countries.

How dare they bring their insanity here.

I don't know why but the case seems fishy. How can the boy become a witch and yet not the sister? Isn't it hereditary too?

(I thought females were only witches - )

Witches are evil, evil must be destroyed, don't listen to the commie-liberal press, this boy was a witch alright.

I've always fancied myself a Wiccan...the one that shines light out of her fingers and to use her magic for only good things.

Ahem.... I the one with the wiccan name...

lol, I am certain starlight is definitely a pagan name.

I've been called a pagan before due to my moniker...not bad 'cos I think there is some charm in being one.

What a horrible thing to have happened! I went looking to see what else might have developed since the OP. I see these murderers are going to be sentenced on Monday.

He might have been a witch tho...............I often come across people who believe in stranger things than witches,and who are quite insistent that theyre right..........hard to say, really, I'm sure.....
...personally, I'd not be that unkind to anyone (well- nearly anyone!),even a witch-just think of the tower of nonsense you'd have to build in your mind to be able to live with it; mind you, when you listen to , say the JWs who turn up sometimes, they seem quite happy with their towers of nonsense.................
