We heard not too long ago of the case of a farmer who bought a 20-year-old woman from a slave dealer some 15 years ago, confining her naked in all seasons with his animals, tied to a rock. Authorities finally took action, rescuing the unfortunate lady from her abominable plight.
Bought fifteen years ago, at the age of 21, from a slave trader for a mere $300 by a 50-year-old farmer, the procured wife’s existence was one on par with the animals with which she shared her outhouse accommodation, kept naked and shackled in filth all year round, freezing in winter and food for insects in summer.
Such is the pitiful tale related by a journalist who was tipped off as to the woman’s plight, and went to investigate.
Having endured twelve years of snoring from her husband, a long suffering wife took it upon herself to put a stop to her sleepless nights by application of an axe; the man did not survive.
