On Monday night, 5 December a 25 year old Manguisa man from a village about 5 miles from Eyene went inside the house of two older women in a neighboring village to his, and began brutally murdering them.  He savagely chopped them around the head, neck, and upper body.  When he was convinced that they were both dead, he drug their bodies into the bedroom and closed the door.  Then he disappeared into the night.  The following morning a family member came to the house and discovered the massacre.  Miraculously the younger of the two women was still breathing.  They rushed her to the hospital where doctors were able to save her life.  She will fully recover, but it will take a long time.  The police were contacted and were able to interview the survivor.  She knew the attacker and because of her, the police arrested him less than 24 hours after he committed this unspeakably horrible act.  He is  in prison awaiting trial.  He will have the book thrown at him.  Maybe even receive the death penalty.  It is extraordinarily rare for such savagery to take place among the Manguisa.  The elderly lady who lost her life was the widow of Mama Clair's older brother who had died some years ago.  This event took place in the village where Mama Clair was born and raised.  The younger of the two older ladies, the one who barely survived the incident, is Mama Clair's youngest sister.
