Am sorry for bathing my neighbor with hot water, suspect pleads 

 
Williams Esther confessed it was the voice of the devil that she heard that made her pour hot water on her neighbors body, Mrs. Mabel Enwongomfon–Umoh 

The incident happened on Christmas Eve during a minor argument thou, she said she was aware of the severe injury the hot water would inflict still she went ahead out of anger 

Speaking with Saturday PUNCH before her arraignment,

In her words; “I’m sorry. I was pushed by the devil to do it. I wish I didn’t do it. After I did it, people were beating me before I was arrested. I feel bad. I’m sorry. Everybody in the house makes trouble, not only me,” she said.

While Esther had since been remanded in police custody until she satisfies the bail conditions imposed by the court; a bail of N500,000 and two sureties in like sum among other conditions, and the matter adjourned till March 9, 2016, Mabel, who has been bedridden since the incident happened, says she has missed breastfeeding her baby.

“Sometimes, I would see milk coming out of my breasts, which was a sign that my baby was crying but there was nothing I could do,” she told Saturday PUNCH.

She said her baby had been feeding on formula.She recalled that her first child could not stand what had become of her face and body the first time she and the two-month-old baby visited her in the hospital.

“She ran away and refused to come inside until they went back home, but she has now got used to it,” she said.

When our correspondent visited Mabel during the week, even though she had been discharged, she was still unable to go home owing to unpaid medical bill. Thus, she remained the hospital’s guest.

*Madam this act is very wicked and inhuman. No matter the argument, very hot water isn’t the solution, this shows that you naturally have a wicked mind, body and soul. May the Lord heal the victim. Amen
