A two months pregnant SHS 3 student at Founders High School, who took a concoction to terminate her pregnancy causing her to bleed excessively, has been dragged to court together with her lover.
After the 18 year old Angeline discovered that she was bulging with 20-year-old Maxwell unborn baby, she informed her lover, who panicked as he felt he had no money to cater for the upkeep of the child.
Maxwell allegedly approached a local traditional healer and asked to be helped to terminate his lover’s pregnancy.
The traditional healer, the court heard, agreed and he took his lover to the traditional healer’s shrine, where the traditional healer administered a concoction.
She took the concoction, and after a few hours it plunged her into severe pain and excessive bleeding.
Her aunt Matilda (42) found her rolling on the floor crying in pain. When she asked her what was causing her to bleed, she revealed that she took a concoction from a traditional healer to terminate her pregnancy.
Angeline, the court heard, also disclosed to her aunt that she was advised by her lover to take the concoction.
Matilda made a police report leading to the arrest of the two law breakers.
Angeline was taken to Hospitals where she was treated. A doctor’s medical report confirmed that that she took a concoction which caused her to bleed profusely.
