Woman who burned her newborn baby alive sentenced to 30 years in jail

A 23 year old New Jersey woman, Hyphernkemberly Dorvilier who hid her pregnancy from her family, gave birth and set her newborn daughter on fire in January 2015 and left her in the middle of a street to burn to death. Fortunately, a neighbour saw her, called the Police tried to save the baby by covering her in a towel and then held her down Dorvilier until the Police arrived. Dorvilier was found with a gas canister and lighter in her pockets.According to authorities, the baby was found with her umbilical cord and placenta still attached and had third-degree burns over 60 percent of her bod. She died two hours after she was flown to a Philadelphia hospital. Autopsy reports confirmed that the infant died of smoke inhalation and and burns.

Dorvilier pleaded guilty in February to aggravated manslaughter and was sentenced on  Friday to 30 years in prison.

While handcuffed and shacked in court on Friday, she said:

"I was on a downward spiral. I believe I hit my rock bottom,". "I apologize first and foremost for not giving my daughter, Angelica, the life she deserved. She deserved so much better."

Police said they responded to a call about a fire on a road in the township, near Philadelphia and that when they arrived at the scene, they found the neighbor holding Dorvilier down on the ground and the baby wrapped in a smoldering towel and paper.
 

Dorvilier's sister, Dejennie, pleaded with Judge Terrence Cook for leniency, saying that Dorvilier needed help. But the judge said the punishment was "the sentence that justice requires."

He said:

"The crime in this case was committed against the weakest of the weak, a helpless newborn," Cook said. "All she knew was the extreme excruciating pain of being set on fire by her mother, the person who was supposed to love and protect her."

Burlington County Prosecutor Robert Bernardi said:

"This was an atrocious act, and one that was entirely preventable given our state's law that allows someone to anonymously give up an unwanted infant,".

Witnesses to the baby burning homicide told police that Hyphernkemberly poured flammable liquid on her newborn daughter before setting the infant on fire.

“It was just horrible. Like nothing you’ve ever seen,” neighbor David Joseph told the media.

Joseph added that due to the woman’s apparently calm demeanor, he thought she was just dumping trash after stepping out of her Land Rover.

“We saw the fire and thought someone was burning trash,” he added.

When Joseph’s wife realized a baby was burning alive, she screamed and Dorvilier attempted to run away from the area but David Joseph managed to hold her down  until the police arrived. A makeshift memorial for the baby burned alive still stands where the homicide took place.

“It was just mind boggling. It was nightmare even if you have a strong heart. Hopefully she’ll pay for it,” Joseph concluded

ICPC: Imo, Two Other States Diverted Bailout Funds Meant To Offset Salaries

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) yesterday disclosed that 16 states were yet to disburse about N57, 663, 185, 735 out of the bailout funds approved for them by President Muhammadu Buhari.
This is just as it fingered some states including Imo, Zamfara and Enugu, as engaging in diversion of the bailout funds which were meant for workers’ salaries, to other use.
Some states were yet to either collect or utilize the bailout funds as at the time the ICPC compiled its report.
Those in this category are Sokoto, Kogi and Bayelsa states.
The Commission made the disclosures in a statement in Abuja by its spokesperson, Edet Ufot, on the report of its investigation into the use of bailout funds by 23 states.
It would be recalled that President Buhari in a three-pronged relief package last July, approved the sharing of a total of N713.7 billion to cash strapped states to pay outstanding workers’ salaries.
The package involved the sharing of N413.7billion Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) proceeds between the states and the Federal Government using the revenue allocation formula, a special intervention fund of between N250 billion and N300 billion from which states could obtain soft loans from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, to pay salary arrears as well as a debt relief programme as proposed by the Debt Management Office (DMO), to help states restructure their commercial loans now put at over N660 billion.
In the document, ICPC/P.E/27/S.1, which was dated April 22, 2016, the commission said: “The report comes under ICPC Prevention mandate and states are welcome to use this initiative”.
Some states that have not fully utilized their bailout funds according to the ICPC, are as follows: Adamawa (N7,200,000,000); Bauchi (N195,011, 616m); Benue (N1,650, 084,000.520); Cross River (N4,715, 516, 959); Ekiti (N390,613, 747m); Katsina (N8,574,415,469); Gombe (N4, 361, 119,848.27); Ondo (N1, 537,575,050.32); Osun (N16, 311,765,418); Plateau (N26, 980,938.85m); Kwara (N29,862,014.92m); Oyo (N1,111,652, 408.40); Delta (2,806,911,019.50); and Kebbi (N4,463,975,420.27).
The commission said: “As part of the Federal Government’s effort to end the lingering crisis of unpaid workers’ salaries in most states of the federation, President Muhammadu Buhari approved a comprehensive relief package designed to salvage the situation through the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)’s Special Intervention Fund which offered affected states’ soft loans solely for the purpose of paying the backlog of salaries.
“Whereas the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) is yet to officially confirm this to the commission, the 27 benefiting states from the open sources are: Abia, Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, Sokoto and Zamfara.
“Following strident allegations of diversion of these bail-out funds and to avoid industrial unrest, ICPC in collaboration with the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) decided to monitor the disbursement of the bailout funds in the 27 benefiting states. However, relying on available sources we could only cover 23 states.
“The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), working in concert with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), made good its resolve to monitor the bailout funds for the offset of salary arrears loaned to 27 states of the federation as approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Following the conclusion of the monitoring exercise, the commission hereby wishes to issue, for public notice, the report of the exercise. The commission also will not hesitate to provide updates to this report where applicable.
“It is important to note that the monitoring exercise report and probable updates are being released to the public by the ICPC to foster understanding between workers and the state governments by providing a transparent process that eliminates information gaps that often lead to rumour-mongering.
“The commission is convinced that this will promote a healthy atmosphere for interaction between the parties on the matter”.

Senators Form G77

Strong indications emerged early yesterday of a hardening of position by senators who formed a Group of 77 drawn from various parties and camps to protect what they have dubbed as the integrity of the Senate.

Meanwhile, the new G77 which had its maiden meeting on Thursday night has launched moves to extricate the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from the control of the presidency in the light of claims by the senators that it had become a tool of the administration.

The G77 comprising mostly of new senators it was gathered, also up in arms against older senators who they claim have monopolised the juicy committees of the Senate to the detriment of the newer ones.

The meeting monitored by Saturday Vanguard commenced shortly after 7.00 p.m. on Thursday and ended just before midnight following which some senators also broke up into groups.

According to Vanguard, 36 senators were physically present at the meeting which inside sources disclosed has a membership roll of 77, almost all of them new senators. Remarkably, the group is also putting forward itself as a bulwark for the embattled Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki with members vowing to defend him against what they alleged as the persecution of the executive branch of government.

Senators in the group resolved to push forward an amendment bill to the law establishing the EFCC to among other things remove the president’s right as appointing power and transfer same to the National Judicial Council, NJC.
