Police say a child bride forced into marriage in Nigeria prepared a poisoned meal that has killed her groom and three of his friends.
They quote 14-year-old Wasila Umaru as saying she used rat poison in the food because she was forced to marry a man she did not love.
The couple was married last week.
The 35-year-old groom had invited a dozen friends to celebrate at his village 100km from the north Nigerian city of Kano over the weekend.
Child marriage is common in Nigeria and especially in the mainly Muslim north.
