DADDY DEAREST

Bizarre news out of Cambodia this week, where a 20-year-old man impregnated his girlfriend for the sole purpose of using the unborn fetus in a black magic ritual designed to render him invisible while he carried out his life of petty crimes. Cambodian police report that when the man’s girlfriend refused to let the three-month-old fetus be surgically removed, he attacked her and tried to slice her stomach open in order to retreive the fetus. The girl was rescued before the baby was harmed but remains in serious condition in the hospital. “The boy who did this is an idiot,” understated police chief Yem Chouengly. “He believes in the ancient superstition that a mummified foetus would have made him invisible and let him commit whatever crimes he wanted without being caught... He didn’t care about the girl or the baby. He just wanted power.” (Int.iol.co.za)
