Snip:

THE gruesome discovery of a decapitated body dumped in the Irish countryside has raised fears that the daughter of a leading African politician was the victim of a ritual killing. The decomposing remains of Paiche Unyolo Onyemaechi, daughter of Leonard Unyolo, Malawi’s Justice Minister, were found next to to a stream close to the sleepy village of Piltown, Co Kilkenny.

But her head has still not been found and detectives are investigating the possibility that Mrs Onyemaechi, 25, was a human sacrifice in Ireland’s first ritual or “muti” killing.

The circumstances of the mother of two’s death, in the shadow of the scenic Comeragh Mountains, are a far cry from those of the average rural Irish murder. It has sent a shudder of horror across Ireland’s growing African population.

The murder is being compared with the case of “Adam”, an unidentified African boy whose torso was found floating in the River Thames in September 2001, which led to Scotland Yard’s first investigation into a ritual killing, where the body parts or bones of a victim are used to bring luck or curse an enemy.
