'Exorcist' jailed

A self-styled exorcist has been jailed for six years for killing his fiancee, and sealing her body in a tomb in his house. Nicholas Sagunro, 27, of East Ham in London, believed his girlfriend, Mary Odegbami, to be possessed by the devil. She died as a result of an attempted exorcism by Sagunro which involved her starvation and force-feeding with what he described as "Holy Communion"
