 If too many early deaths are occurring in your family, it's spiritual.  Don't listen to anybody who tells you it's normal. Go to your village immediately, ask of the deity that protects your village. If that deity acknowledges God Almighty, pay homage to the deity immediately and you'll be saved. God took me on a journey & opened my eyes to so many hidden truths. Our traditional ways are powerful, given to us by God Almighty but we're suffering bcos we abandoned them. Go no.

When speaking with pet owners, deputies were given the name of 24-year-old Stuart Hammonds as a possible suspect. When deputies descended onto the property Hammonds shared with his girlfriend, they were met by the unmistakable smell of death. As they searched the property authorities were able to identify the remains of at least 12 dogs suffering from different types of trauma. While investigating, police were informed by a witness that Mr. Hammonds would take the animal's lives while in fits of rage in front of his girlfriend.
