Police say a child bride forced into marriage in Nigeria prepared a poisoned meal that has killed her groom and three of his friends.
They quote 14-year-old Wasila Umaru as saying she used rat poison in the food because she was forced to marry a man she did not love.
The couple was married last week. The 35-year-old groom had invited a dozen friends to celebrate at his village 100 kilometres from the north Nigerian city of Kano over the weekend.
Child marriage is common in Nigeria and especially in the mainly Muslim north.
Assistant police superintendent Musa Magaji Majia said Thursday that the teenage suspect is co-operating with police and probably will be charged with culpable homicide. Source...
