A British nurse who used voodoo to traffic prostitutes into Europe has been found guilty in the first case of its kind in the UK.
Josephine Iyamu used a powerful witch doctor to exert a control over her victims.
The 53-year-old was a ringleader of an international human trafficking crime network and lived in a huge Nigerian mansion complete with a servants’ quarters.
She used the profits to fund her lavish lifestyle including jaunts to Europe to buy £700 designer shoes.
Iyamu charged each of her victims up to €38,000 - more than £33,600 - to arrange for their travel to Europe.
She would first make the vulnerable women undergo "Juju" ceremonies which would involve them drinking blood containing worms and eating the heart of a chicken.
