A woman accused of killing her four children blamed evil spirits for taking the lives of the minors.

We ate supper together and even watched TV before the children, whom I loved so much, went to bed only for the evil spirits to take over,” Mwende told the court.

She told the court that on the 26 of every month, she would be possessed by evil spirits that took over her to do evil deeds that she was not in control of.
