Woman runs over boyfriend for cheating on her

A 44-year-old woman in New Zealand has been sectioned after allegedly trying to run over a boyfriend who had jilted her.

The incident happened in the Hamilton Waikato area of North Island, the area where the Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit were filmed.

A 15-year-old boy heard the couple arguing outside a shop. He said he heard the victim telling the woman he was going to leave her and "then she ran him over".

"The first time we thought it was just an accident, but then the second time we knew it wasn't," Kanj Patel was quoted as saying on Liveleak.com.

"I was shocked and I was shaking, but I had to do something to help him.

"He was swearing a bit, but we took him a cushion and another person got him a towel for his head and we tried to keep him comfortable."

Witnesses said the 44-year-old woman then drove her car over a bank and into the Waikato River.

A boy who was swimming in the river with his younger brother heard the car revving before it went over the bank.

"It didn't look like she was trying to stop," he said.

The woman freed herself from the car as it was sinking.

Waikato police were soon on the scene and the woman was brought ashore, with the assistance of a passing kayaker.

The man is in hospital recovering from his injuries.

WHY there are no DRUNKS or PROSTITUTES at Nakuru motel

As I entered Muriu Guest house in Nakuru town, accompanied by my male colleague, all  the workers stared in our direction.

I was not surprised by their glares as I knew what was going on in their minds.

For unlike most guesthouses that serve as hideouts for couples out to indulge in illicit affairs as long as they can afford the accommodation fees, Muriu is no place for mpango wa kando (‘side arrangement’). 

And the warning to unmarried lovebirds, prostitutes and their lust-driven clients is explicitly written on the wall:

“Hapa hakuna nyumba ya kufanyia mapenzi. Walalao wawe ni bibi na bwana. Na wawe na kibali cha harusi la sivyo, majina yaambatane kwenye kitambulisho cha kitaifa.”

For the Kiswahili-‘challenged’ visitors to Nakuru – a town slowly gaining the dubious distinction of being “sin city” – who might be tempted  to visit Muriu with ‘ulterior’ motives, the message means: “There is no room for illicit sex here. Only husbands and their wives are allowed to spend the night here. They should show proof of their marriage with a marriage certificate or national identification cards with matching names.”  

And that’s not all. The guest house is a no-go zone for drunks; even those with marriage certificates! “Ulevi au vitu vya ulevi havitakikani. Amani na utulivu lazima uimarishwe”   (Drinking or related activities are not permitted. Peace and tranquility must prevail), the notice further reads.

Clients are vetted before being given accommodation and those who don’t meet the high standards are sent away. But most customers with ‘ill intentions’ don’t even get to the vetting point at the reception area, as messages and pictures displayed at the entrance are enough to send them away.

One picture shows a man dressed in a black suit waving goodbye to a woman dressed in a red mini-dress as he enters the facility. The woman is sneering at the man (her illicit lover), who is not allowed into the premises with her because of the strict rule prohibiting prostitution in the building.

“Pliz hakuna nyumba ya kufanya mapenzi (Please, there is no room for sex),” reads a message between the pictures.

Muriu Guest House is owned by Jeremiah Kibe Muriu, a teetotaler. Ironically Muriu means “drunkard” in Kikuyu. So why would a man named Muriu, with a guest house going by the same name, hate alcohol with such a passion?

Staunch Christian

We got the answer to this question without even asking. When we arrived at the guest house, we found  the 74-year-old proprietor discussing spiritual matters with Rachael Wangui, the customer care officer. Muriu is a Christian; a staunch one who abhors immorality.

Incredibly, by merely looking at the two of us entering the guest house, he had already concluded that we were not married, and perhaps up to some mischief.

When you came in, I observed your movements and knew you could not secure accommodation in my facility. According to African culture, women walk behind men,” he says.

Muriu says he came up with the strict rules to ensure that morality was upheld in the community. He reveals that he grew up in a humble Christian family and that played a role in the way he wanted to establish his business. He wanted to put his faith into action and change society morally.

He explains that permitting immorality would affect his Christian beliefs. “If a drunken person is accommodated here, he will affect my beliefs. I am, therefore, promoting good morals through actions.” 

Chased away

He adds: “I am not only into making profits but also ensuring that good family values are preserved. There is a well displayed notice of the rules and those who are not able to abide by them are chased away.”

But what happens to couples without marriage certificates or ID cards with a shared name? For those married under customary law, a joint bank account is used for verification or in the absence of that, children are used as proof of marriage.

“Children are a symbol of the union between couples,” he expounds. Bachelors and single women seeking accommodation at the guest house are not permitted to sleep in the same room or on the same floor.

Interestingly, the names of the rooms are derived from the Bible. They include Damascus, Judea, Turo, Jopa, Lebanon, Jordan, Bethlehem, Roma, Nazareth, Shalom and Filodefia.

The dress code is also strict. Women are not allowed to wear ‘tumbo-cuts’ and mini-skirts. Muriu says such dressing promotes prostitution and also irritates other clients.

Muriu says most of his customers are religious leaders attending seminars in Nakuru.

Theories behind illicit lovers getting stuck....

Can couples really get stuck during sexual intimacy?  Medical doctors, whom some people dismiss as clueless regarding the matters of ‘sexual lock down’, describe the situation as a temporary medical

condition that is treatable.

However in Ukambani, such ‘lock downs’ are normal. And they are not medical, according to traditional experts.

 As a matter of fact, randy men who have affinity for preying on other men’s wives are advised to tread carefully, lest one bumps into a wife who has a ‘lock’. In Ukambani lovers have been busted stuck together while on the throes of intimate passion and unsuccessfully struggling to disentangle.

Lately though such have been witnessed elsewhere in the country where the unfortunate couples are hauled into police trucks, wrapped in blankets and dumped in hospitals to await their fate under bewildered doctors. In Kamba land, there exists mbingo (meaning lock) where a suspicious husband can ‘lock’ his wife such that she will never enjoy sexual bliss outside her marriage. Such mbingo is sometimes extended to homesteads where the family head, with the help of a witch-doctor, installs it to cushion his home from thieves and intruders.

But it is mbingo ya mundu muka (putting a lock on a woman) that continues to cause bewilderment among many people. Kamba traditionalists swear that this ‘lock’ helps to curb infidelity in couples and will catch the ‘thief’ pants down.

I sought to explore how this mbingo is installed, how it works and its effectiveness.

The results were dumbfounding and hilarious. Mzee Mbuvi Musyimi, 83, from Mukuthu village in Mwingi Central District says there are three types of mbingo that will prevent an amorous wife from straying. According to Musyimi, only men can ‘lock’ their wives and not the other way round.

“This is because the male species is wired for polygamy. Even the witch-doctors who fix this mbingo are men, so they will never lock their fellow men,” Musyimi says.

He says the first scenario is where a man buys a string and takes it to a witch-doctor where it is treated with muthea (magic portion). It is then handed over to the client as the witch-doctor mumbles incantations. The husband is advised to place the muthea laced cord at a strategic place in his homestead, such as on the way to the toilet, kitchen or bedroom where his wife will unknowingly jump over it.

 “Use all your tricks to have her jump over the specially prepared string. Once she does, it is a deal. Take it and hide it at a place known only by you,” says Musyimi, adding that with such a simple operation the wife is permanently ‘under lock and key’. Musyimi notes that this is the worst form of mbingo since a thieving man will get stuck on the woman, his male organ swell and then die within hours.

 Instead of killing the ‘thief’, Musyimi says many people prefer a second type of mbingo where you catch him in action and demand hefty compensation for ‘trespass’.

  This is where a witchdoctor advises you to buy a knife that has a pouch. The witch-doctor will detach the knife from its pouch, treat it with muthea then give it back to the man.

“You are required to while away time from home for seven days, during which time the muthea becomes effective,” he says.

Hate him

A third type of mbingo involves inflicting temporary impotence on a stray man. Here a suspicious husband gets a powerful dose of muthea from a witch-doctor. One is then advised to discreetly apply this muthea on the private parts of the wife or a girlfriend.

“If another man comes knocking, his male organ will just become flaccid, lifeless and shrink. The woman will hate him for life,” says Musyimi, before breaking into a prolonged naughty laughter as I join in.

Rihanna being sued for more than £70,000 in row over grandmother's funeral

Pop superstar Rihanna is being sued for more than £70,000 by a business in a row over the bill for her grandmother’s funeral.

The Umbrella singer ­arranged a lavish send-off when Clara “Dolly” Braithwaite died of lung cancer in her ­native Barbados.

But more than a year later the star, 25, is being ­accused of only paying £22,000 of the £94,000 cost she was billed.

Funeral directors Downes and Wilson have lodged a civil suit in the High Court in Barbados in her real name Robyn Rihanna Fenty demanding the rest of the money. Rihanna’s lawyers insist she does not owe it.

The funeral home reportedly conducted the church service and all burial arrangements, which included retrofitting the Emmanuel Baptist Church in St Michael, buying the grave at Coral Ridge Memorial Gardens in Christ Church.

The funeral had included tents, limousines giant screens and ­exotic flower arrangements.

Earlier this year Rihanna won a £3.3million High Court battle against fashion giant Topshop for selling a T-shirt emblazoned with her photograph.

When contacted by the Sunday People on Friday Barbados legal firm James Wilson and Company, representing the funeral home, said: “We will not be making any further comment.”

Shock after woman puts baby up for sale on OLX for Only Ksh.35,00

A mother tired of her baby’s crying reportedly put the baby up for sale on a website for Ksh.35,000.

The parent from Brazil was apparently willing to auction off the child on website OLX for Ksh.35,000. because of its wailing.

The advert, posted by a user called Vinícius Félix, featured a photo of the baby accompanied by the description: ‘cries a lot, won’t let me sleep and I need to go to work.’

Although the ad came with a number and address attached, police have placed doubt over the legitimacy of it.

Detective Marcela Orçai, who specialises in child protection, said the details provided did not exist, although he added authorities were keeping a close eye on the site.
