UNGUWAR YANSORO, Nigeria, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- A 14-year-old child bride is being tried in a Nigerian courtroom on charges that she killed her 35-year-old groom and three others with rat poison.
The girl, Wasila Tasi'u, allegedly asked a young sister of one of her husband's co-wives to buy the poison just hours before she prepared a meal to celebrate her two-week marriage. Groom Umar Sani had several wives, said officials.
