TL;DR: the victim is a 40 yo plumber, who was contacted by the workers of Lovely Guest House, a private accommodation facility in Uganda's capital, pretending they need his services. Instead, he was attacked, robbed, tortured (like in the video + stripping and tying his genitals with rope) and left for dead. However, he survived, and a few people involved - including the cameraman - were arrested over the following week. Among them was one woman.

This video surfaced in social media on 27th of March 2022 (Sunday). The incident happened after 10 AM on 26th of March. The identity of the two men was initially not known. The cameraman only revealed his black shoes. The yellow t-shirt with NRM acronym suggests that the torturer may be supporting National Resistance Movement, a current ruling party in Uganda.

Police had info about the video the next day. The identity of the victim and the location was already known, even though the police spokesman didn't say how they got that info. The victim was a 40 yo plumber, Brian Njuba. He lived in Kampala (the capital of Uganda) in Lungujja in Rubaga Division. The place he was tortured in was a Lovely Guest House. It's a private accommodation facility. Below, there's location of Kampala and the Lovely Guest House.

There could be no better place for a torture after which the victim must be hospitalized than a one called Lovely Guest House

Njuba was sticking posters around the city, advertising his plumbing services. He was contacted by the people from a lodge in Ggaba, a part of the city unknown to him. After arriving at the spot, he was invited to a Room 6. Then, unknown people attacked him. More below ('he' is a police spokesman).

He added that Njuba was stripped, genitals tied with ropes, mouth gagged with stockings, and selected parts of the body burnt using melting plastics from a small jerry can.

Police said the group abandoned the victim and took off with his phone.

“The suspects left thinking he had died. The act was carefully captured by the robbers on video,” Mr Enanga said.

The police spokesperson revealed that the owner of the guest house, Brian Mushabwe, has since been arrested for not recording the identities of the suspects in the registration book as regulations for hotels, lodges, and guest houses stipulate.

“The suspects were not booked at the guest house which makes their act a premeditated one. As a lesson to all other managers of hotels and guest houses, we have arrested the owner of the hotel and the person who was attending to that shift for taking the guidelines issued for granted,” Mr Enanga said.

Receptionist's name is Mastullah Namaganda. She was arrested as she booked the suspects in the lodge, allowed them to use her phone to contact Njuba and guided him to the Room 6.

According to the police, there were no ties between the victim and the attackers. If it wasn't this plumber, it could be any person running a business that requires arriving at the client's place. Njuba was admitted to the hospital in Mulago (another quarter of the city). It was not mentioned what type of injuries he sustained or how long he had to be treated. On 4th of April, it was said that he 'is progressing well'.

On 4th of April 2022, the police spokesman informed that the detectives from Crime Intelligence division found the cameraman Abdurahman Wejuli. He was arrested. During the search, the victim's mobile was found, as well as the suspect's yellow t-shirt visible in the video. The spokesman also explained the reasons behind arresting the receptionist that day, and announced that they're still looking for suspects, as there's probably more of them.

Mikhail Vladimirov Before the Incident:

The incident took place in the town of Kotelniki near Moscow on February 16 this year.

Russian media say he left his home around 4am, taking his registered shotgun, charged with numerous small lead pellets, with him.

The man then spent several hours driving around the town in a rented car, according to reports.

At one point he stopped the vehicle, put his shotgun between his legs, aimed the muzzle at his chin and fired, investigators said.

The shot completely destroyed Vladimirov's face but somehow missed his brain that saved his life, say local media.

Suffering from traumatic shock, Vladimirov got out of the car and was spotted by a female commuter who happened to go past the scene.

The terrified woman called emergency services.

The video filmed at the scene by a witness showed Vladimirov with a bloodied mass instead of the face sitting in the driver seat of his rented car.

“His jaw and nose were completely blasted off. Bloody chunks of flesh hung from his face instead of cheeks. He couldn't talk. He was making painful moo-like sounds,” an onlooker said.

Vladimirov was rushed to hospital where doctors managed to stitch what was left of his face together and save one of his eyes with 50 per cent of vision loss.

The man, who now receives food through a tube attached directly to his stomach, survived only by chance, say medics.

He already underwent numerous surgeries and has dozens of operations to restore facial bones and years of rehabilitation ahead of him.

Vladimirov worked as a security system technician and experienced constant financial difficulties that plagued him during his seventeen years of marriage, it is reported.

According to the man's parents, he constantly had unpaid loans that he had taken “to satisfy his wife's unlimited needs.”

The Shotgun (probably a 12 gauge Mossberg 500):

It is quite common for Brazilian children to play kites. Most of the time, they use a specific rope that has a kind of "glass" or something sharp on the rope, to cut other children's kites.

It is normal for people who work on motorcycles, such as Delivery or Taxi, to be victims of these ropes, as they are completely unprotected from any type of danger. There is a specific object that makes this type of rope cut, but almost no one uses it.

Cassandra Damps shot Devyn Holmes accidentally, thinking he wouldn't survive she washed gun residue off her hands.

Devyn Holmes ended up surviving,

she got sentenced to 10 years, but got released after 6 months.

this is him now

In later Interviews he talks about how it affects his life, but he got a lot better.

He had to learn a lot of stuff again, even simple things like writing.

His left half of his body got serious motoric issues from the brain damage, even picking up a pencil with his left hand is hard for him.

His mother is fighting for Justice, because of the short sentence for Cassandra.

Its long been known that the batshit crazy mormon "mommy vlogger" Ruby Franke had a sadistic streak when it came to her kids. She'd frequently post about new and increasingly draconian ways of abusing her 6 children under the guise of "tough love". Forbidding the children from having friends, denying them food as a punishment, forcing the oldest child to sleep on the floor for several months for using a mobile phone to text- the list goes on.

However, in 2023- the abused seemed to have escalated to the criminal when her 12 year old son managed to escape captivity. The boy is seen limping onto an elderly neighbor's property without shoes to beg for the police to be called.

Why do so many insane fundamentalist christians have so many damn kids when they're just gonna abuse the shit out of them? The Duggar family comes to mind...

May these kids find peace and love and heal from this </3

Child abusers have a special place in hell.

Sadly could not find any information regarding this clip. Probably means it's fairly outdated.

If this is a repost or you have information about this person I would love to know so!

At home male to female??

On 23rd of October 2015 - ironically, a 70th anniversary of the United Nations - a new video emerged, showing women being tortured for witchcraft. The one you've seen in thumbnail was slightly edited, and so far I couldn't find a full version. The exact location wasn't given, just that it's a New Guinea Highlands (so a long chain of mountain ranges) and Enga province.

The video shows at least four women who have been stripped, tied up, burned and beaten. They are prodded and threatened with machetes while being questioned by a group of men. The Guardian has obtained an edited version of the video but has chosen not to publish it.

The Guardian was told by two PNG sources the women were accused of sorcery after a young man fell ill in a village in Enga province in August.

Social media posts said the women were accused of “invisibly” taking the man's heart, and then putting it back after they were tortured. In their attackers' eyes this would also prove their guilt as sorcerers.

I actually lack the Marsey retard emoji to describe the story to you, but let's try

According to the man who accused these women of sorcery, they invisibly took away his hurt, cut it to pieces, and then put back in his body. The man claims that he died, and people were already mourning and preparing the funeral. Then one of the witches came to the family's household. Family asked her to return man's heart. She denied that she took it, and the family 'was dealing with her till daylight' when the man was still lying dead. However, she returned his heart, saying: 'Son, I accidentally took your heart, but I was sent to do it. But now I have returned your heart, you may go home'. The man claimed that he came back to life thanks to the relatives and because he had no sin.

You can check the video below, here the policeman lets the guy talk about how he died but now is alive. Torture for alleged witchcraft is a common problem in Papua, and also proving it is hard, because the evidence is invisible

[...] said he was aware of many people sharing the video on their smartphones, including high school students, and said it wasn't out of horror but rather approval for the actions being taken against the four accused women.

“There's no logic going on in the matter … To try to talk logically, even to students, doesn't really get you very far. They say, we have evidence and you ask what kind of evidence and they say it's invisible evidence you can't see it,” he said.

An additional problem with the sorcery-related violence is their diversity. Beliefs related to witchcraft (or black magic, locally: sanguma) vary among the provinces, are logically contradicting, change over time and spread into the new communities, mixing with the pre-existing beliefs. The victims of the 'witch hunts' can be both male and female, including kids; usually they're women, though. They way of 'punishing' the witches also vary geographically:

Often associated with PNG's remote highlands, sorcery killings are allegedly occurring in lowland provinces too.

Milne Bay Police provincial commander, Peter Barkie, told the Guardian SARV occurred regularly, was widely known about, but rarely went unreported.

“The belief here about sorcery is so intense that they kill anyone they suspect is practicing it, but the practice here is different from that in Southern Highlands where women are beaten and tortured before being burnt alive.”

He said men, women and even children were accused. “They just slaughter them, no torture, no burning.

“But what is frightening about the practice here is that the first-born child of the person accused is also killed because they believe it is passed from the parent to the first-born child.”

Here's a basic map:

The police started an investigation into the case that surfaced in October 2015, and promised to arrest everyone involved in the crime (a rare occurrence). I didn't find any update on the man whose 'heart was eaten' or on the villagers from his community.

⠀A FEW COMMENTS AT THE END

Sorcery-related violence is still an ongoing problem, of which both the politics and the activists are well aware. In, ironically, mostly Christian country. There were recent legal changes, too. In January 2022, Papua New Guinea abolished death penalty - again, as the first time was in 1970. In 2013, PNG's Parliament reintroduced the death penalty for murder and repealed the controversial 1971 Sorcery Act. It allowed murderers to use the allegation of witchcraft as a legitimate defense. Motivation for this was a murder of a mother of a little girl, who was back then an infant, and fell into the abusers' hands herself a few years later. Justice is a nickname given to the girl.

Justice's ordeal began long before the mob arrived. In 2013, when she was just an infant, her mother was accused of being a witch in PNG's second largest city of Mount Hagen following the unexplained death of a local child. She was stripped naked, attacked with machetes and finally burned alive on a pile of tires. Hundreds watched the grisly scene unfold right opposite the church where Kissam's father was formerly pastor.

Then, the baby was under care of her uncle, in a village around 100 miles away from Mount Hagen. However, the gossips about Justice's mother reached the village, and she was treated as a pariah. Her behavior was odd: 'even months after her rescue, Justice seemed uncomfortable unless regularly scolded, and would act out in order to feel that familiar rebuke'. When the girl's cousin - Nancy - fell ill, the girl's brothers went after Justice. After seeing the angry mob, Justice's uncle was afraid about his own children's lives, so he let the girl out from the hut. CHILD WARNING to the description below.

They tied up Justice and began their torture. Believing the girl had stolen her cousin's heart and devoured it, they would bellow “give Nancy back her heart.” All the time Nancy lay nearby groaning, Justice recalls. When they hurt Justice, Nancy would momentarily recover; when they stopped, her condition seemed to worsen. Even today, Justice is angrier with her cousin and former friend, whom she accuses of faking her ailment to get attention, than her torturers. “She said that I took her heart, but she's a liar,” Justice says bitterly.

Justice was tortured until 5 a.m. the next morning. Afterward, her captors kept her bound for five more days while they observed Nancy's condition. Were she to worsen or die, then Justice's fate would be sealed. But during that time word spread about what was happening and reached Kissam, who was sitting at her desk in her Port Morseby office.

Ruth J. Kissam is a director of operations in Papua New Guinea Tribal Foundation, an NGO based in Port Moresby that 'provides education, health care and humanitarian assistance in Papua New Guinea's remotest communities'. Currently, she is a legal caretaker of Justice. The girl survived, here's how she looks today - to end this post with something positive!
