Scotsman.com News – Latest News – Thatcher Probe Delays Coup Trial But President Decides Verdicts

The slim chance of alleged coup plotters linked to Sir Mark Thatcher getting a fair trial in Equatorial Guinea disappeared today when the oil rich nation’s President Teodoro Obiang signalled guilty verdicts.

And this guy is the nut-eater. When they tell him to “have a ball” it takes on a whole new dimension.

And don’t over look this tale of woe.

Mr Moto claims that the president was told by local soothsayers to kill the people close to him to keep his grip on power. Since then he has allegedly murdered and eaten people he views as a threat.

“He has devoured a police commissioner,” Mr Moto told a Spanish radio station in March. “I say ‘devoured’, as this commissioner was buried without his testicles and brain. We are in the hands of a cannibal.”

And Mr Moto sees himself as a prime target: “Obiang wants me to go back to Guinea … [so he can] eat my testicles.”

This place must have an interesting bureau of tourism.
