HIV Positive Maid Laces Child's Porridge With...

    ...........menstrual blood.
    HIV+ maid laces kids porridge with menstrual blood

    MASVINGO A 17-year-old HIV positive maid from Mupandawana, Gutu, laced the porridge of her employers four-year-old child with menstrual blood cruelty that earned her a 10-year prison term yesterday.
    She will effectively serve eight years as two years were suspended on condition of good behaviour.
    Pelagia Mureya, originally from Choto Village in Chief Magonde area in Chinhoyi, carried out the disgusting act several times until luck ran out for her when one day her employer, from Gonville suburb, last week noticed a drop of blood when her child was eating porridge and investigated.

    The maid professed ignorance of the blood but her inquisitive employer took the porridge, her child and the maid to Gutu Rural Hospital where tests confirmed it was Mureyas menstrual blood. The toddlers mother immediately pressed charges against her, leading to her arrest.

    If she worked in a chocolate factory, they could make Galaxy Menstruals.

    Words can't describe how ****ed up that is.

    Any word on the kid? I assume HIV can be passed that way and presumably they've done tests.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 893 ✭✭✭danslevent


    That poor child :( She deserves much more than ten years, she is clearly very, very mentally unbalanced.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,317 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    She's a 17-year-old maid in Zimbabwe. I'd be surprised if she can write her own name, let alone understand the mechanics of blood-borne pathogenic disease transmission (I couldn't think of a less intellectual way of saying that). One in five people in her age group are HIV positive, so she probably considers it some kind of curse rather than the serious life-threatening illness that it actually is.

    In any case, the odds of such an act resulting in HIV infection would be very very small. Most likely she did it in an attempt to get revenge on her employer, ignorant to the possible outcome.

    Doesn't excuse it, but I would be very slow to call it attempted murder or anything like that.

    And thus, I will never eat jam with my porridge again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    This sort of thing would put one off having servants. :eek:

    Mind you, I bet it was very common during the Apartheid era for servants to do all sorts of things with their detested masters' food: snot, spit, smegma, shit. My favourite was something I once read about a servant who always dipped his cock in the glass of warm milk he had to serve his nasty mistress at bedtime just before he took it to her room.:D:D

    You could have spelled it wrong.

    My friend did that at a party. Got water for a guy he knows and dipped his balls into it.

    Or because some nutbag 'witchdoctor' told her if she passed it on she'd be cured. I presume it's a variation on the adult males raping kids to cure themselves theme that spread around southern Africa

    Anyone who has the mentality to think it's okay to do something that F**ked up to a child should not be allowed out of jail ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,819 ✭✭✭✭g'em


    Has the child been diagnosed as HIV+? It would be highly unlikely that they could contract the virus from ingesting blood, although the risk would increase if they had oral sores or ulcers. That's not excusing what she did - its a despicable thing to do to a child entrusted in your care and largely unforgivable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    Good God
    If its any consolation HIV is a very weak virus and there is little chance the kids would get it this way, but probably not impossible. Lets hope.

    Some sources say she got a 12 month sentence with two months suspends as long as she doesn't commit a similar crime in the next 3 years.
    http://www.blackmediascoop.com/2012/02/29/hiv-positive-maid-put-menstrual-blood-in-kids-cereal/

    It also says that what she was doing was only discovered on the 13th of February and the case happened 11 days after. The court system works fast in Zimbabwe!

    In fact so must the lab technicians because it seems very fast for it to be established that her blood was in the porridge, that it was menstrual blood as opposed to regular blood and that it was HIV+. When was this confirmed?

    I don't know much about CSI Masvingo but 11 days from finding your child eating something suspicious to a conviction of the maid for putting her own, particular type of blood, infected with a particular disease sounds rather fantastical.

    That kind of speed would be fairly typical in Zimbabwe. They probably checked the blood type and using that and the fact that the maid's blood and the blood on the porridge were both red, they decided she was guilty. Menstrual fluid of course isn't just blood, but you would still need a DNA comparison to determine who owns the blood.

    DNA comparisons take weeks. Unless you're a wealthy Zimbabwean, in which case they take hours if you slip the police chief a few trillion dollars.

    The mother should be done as well for making her kids eat porridge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 190 ✭✭Friel


    Why only 10 years for doing something like that?

    Im glad she got a long period in prison.

    actually thats how HIV spread from monkeys to humans.


    basically SIV originated in monkeys which later spread to chimps (as chimps are known to kill and eat monkeys) and became HIV and the starvin marvins in africa killed and ate these chimps not knowing they carried HIV.... it then spread from the now infected chimp poachers to the rest of human population in the villages via sex, the rest is history as they say it.

    I found the start of that video really creepy. Secretly filming someone is so weird and out of order, I'm very glad my babysitting days ended in the mid-90s.

    It would be very unlikely to pass on this way i would say.

    Ok yes it's disgusting and weird to do. But 10 years in prison? What is that going to do. She's obviously a bit mental and needs some help.
    Perhaps she won't do it again in 10 years time but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
