Sofina Nikat, 23, will stand trial accused of murdering her baby daughter Sanaya when she was told her baby was controlled by an evil spirit

A mum accused of murdering her 14-month-old daughter was told by an imam her baby was possessed, police said.
Sofina Nikat, 23, was struggling to care for daughter Sanaya and sought guidance from her Fijian parents who told her an imam they consulted said the baby was controlled by an evil spirit, officers said in a court summary.

The young mum received lockets and prayers that she was told she and Sanaya should wear to try to remove the "spirit" and was told to "cleanse" the baby in holy water, a court heard.
Nikat will stand trial at Melbourne Magistrates' Court accused of murdering her daughter after the toddler's body was found in Darebin Creek, Heidelberg West, last April.
The mum has denied the charge.

Nikat initially reported Sanaya had been snatched from her pram by an African stranger who smelled of alcohol in Olympic Park but then later told police she made up the story "because she was scared", court documents revealed.
She then allegedly told police she covered the baby's nose and mouth until she could no longer breathe before she dumped her body into the creek.

The court heard Nikat told police her baby would "cry and growl at the roof" and that she was advised Sanaya had "negative energy".
She allegedly told police her daughter was "better off in a better place".
Days before she died Sanaya suffered convulsions and a seizure, the court heard.

Nikat's defence lawyer Christopher Dane argued the 23-year-old should only be tried for infanticide, which carries a lower penalty than murder.
He made the case after two psychiatric reports suggested Nikat was mentally disturbed at the time of her daughter's death.
But magistrate Luisa Bazzani upheld the murder charge on the grounds the psychiatrist's evidence had not been tested.
Nikat is due to return to court on Friday.

This is not an African love story,however it's a strange love story. Most women hate it when their men stare at other women or show interest in them. But this wife spent four years trying to persuade her husband to get a second wife! See how the story ended.  The unusual family lives in USA. Why would a woman want her man to take in another one? Well, because the girl was HER lover! At first she talked to her man and said that she had some “emptiness” in life and asked his permission to get a female lover.  The woman is 27 and her husband is 28. Then she met 20-year-old Melissa. The girls “fell in love” and she invited her to share sex with her husband. Until the women met, the family seemed to be a pretty happy one with two kids in it.  That’s what they look like now. The wife Diana begged the man to take Melissa as his second wife and let her be the part of their family. After 4 years of discussions Manny eventually agreed to such an unusual ar
