Ghanaian Man Gets Life Sentence For Murdering His Wife

A man who murdered his wife in a fit of rage and jealousy at their Enfield home has been jailed for life, with a minimum term of 17 years.

Minta Adiddo has been jailed for life

Minta Adiddo, 38-year-old Ghanaian, of Morris Court, Rigby Place, Enfield was found guilty at the Old Bailey on 13th December 2013, of fatally stabbing Akua Agyeman in November 2012. She later died from horrific injuries on 2nd January 2013.

He was sentenced at the Old Bailey on 16th December 2013.

At previous court hearings Adiddo had admitted to manslaughter but denied murdering her.

His conviction followed a successful investigation by detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command.

The court heard that in October 2012 Adiddo harboured a belief that his wife was conducting an illicit affair with a neighbour. His belief, which was denied by the neighbour, led to Adiddo attacking Mrs Agyeman in their bedroom on 5th November 2012. He initially stabbed her with a large kitchen knife.

Mrs Agyeman fled the bedroom and attempted to escape through their living room window. Addido pursued her and witnesses described how they saw him chasing the 22-year-old across a road and continue to stab her as she lay collapsed on the ground.

As witnesses called emergency services one passer-by, who had been tending to Mrs Agyeman, told the court how he then realised a car was driving straight at them. He managed to avoid the vehicle but watched as Adiddo drove over his wife before fleeing the scene.

The jury were told about how following the attack, in one of the first phone calls Adiddo made, to a relative, he admitted stabbing his wife and that he was going to kill himself before arrest.

Shortly before 10:00hrs on 6th November 2012 Adiddo was arrested after officers spotted him in the vehicle still wearing his blood-stained shirt.

Shocking: ‘Degrading’ Treatment Of Lampedusa Immigrants Caught On Video

The European Commission has threatened Italy with legal action for possible breaches of the EU’s rules on granting asylum, over its treatment of migrants arriving from Africa on the island of Lampedusa.

Video shot on a cell phone and shown on Italian State television station RAI2 Tuesday, shows migrants at a camp on the island of Lampedusa being forced to strip naked, in mixed company, and then being hosed down by staff.

Home Affairs Minister Angelino Alfano said they were considering entrusting the centre to the International Red Cross.

European Commission’s home affairs chief, Cecilia Malmstrom said: “The images we have seen from the detention centre in Lampedusa are appalling and unacceptable. We will contact the Italian authorities to ask more information on these events and we ask them to shed full light over what happened.

“We have already started investigations on the deplorable conditions in many Italian detention centres, including Lampedusa, and we will not hesitate to launch an infringement procedure to make sure EU standards and obligations are fully respected.”

Ms. Malmstrom warned that the European Commission’s “assistance and support to the Italian authorities in managing migratory flows can only be continued if the country guarantees humane and dignified reception conditions to migrants, asylum seekers and refugees.”
Lampedusa
Giusi Nicolini, the Mayor of Lampedusa said the images reminded one of a concentration camp. She added that they showed lack of respect for human dignity. The whole country should be ashamed of what happened at the detention centre in Lampedusa, Ms. Nicolini said.

Laura Boldrini, Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies said the way migrants were treated was “unacceptable” and “unworthy of a civilised country”.

She added that the images “tarnished the country’s honour.”

Valerio Cataldi, the journalist who prepared the report, said it showed the “shameful medical treatment” in Lampedusa.

Italian authorities have already launched an inquiry into the treatment of migrants at the detention centre in Lampedusa.

According to Radar Online, Justin Bieber did not invite his paternal grandparents to his Believe movie Premiere on Wednesday.
When asked by a representative from the website if he was invited to the Los Angeles event, Justin’s grandfather replied, “I really don’t want to talk about it.”
It was believed that Justin’s grandfather George Bieber did not appear at the event, as he has publicly criticized Justin’s behavior in the past.
George Bieber told the New York Daily News in April that Justin rarely communicates with him or gives him and his wife Kathy Bieber any money.
“It’s like we now live on different planets,” he revealed in April. “He never calls us, and now I sometimes think he doesn’t care. It does make me sad, as right now our lives are pretty desperate. I can’t work due to illness, so there is barely any money coming into the house. For them, nothing seems to be too much trouble, and he buys them new houses, cars, luxury holidays, anything they want — but for us, nothing.”
Justin’s new movie Believe will hit theaters on Christmas day.
