Three people have been jailed for between four and 10 years over the torture of an eight-year-old girl they accused of being a witch.
The Old Bailey trial heard the girl was beaten, cut with a knife and had chilli peppers rubbed in her eyes at a flat in Hackney, east London, in 2003.
Her aunt, who cannot be named, was jailed for 10 years for child cruelty.
Sita Kisanga and Sebastian Pinto, found guilty of helping her, were sentenced to 10 and four years respectively.
The judge, Christopher Moss, said they had mounted a "campaign of cruelty that amounted to a campaign of torture".
In Africa, this sort of thing is too common. The thalidomide baby who has just been given a visa for treatment, was put up for adoption because his parents thought he was cursed If Africa can move on, the attitude of people like this has to change, surely.

Yes, I am pleased that they are where they belong - Behind bars, however for the suffering they caused to that girl I feel that more than 10 years would have been justified...
(yes, I know that 10 years was the maximum they could go for...)
At last.....a little bit of sanity in this country.......
