Muslim woman 'beaten with walking stick in brutal exorcism by husband and family members who were convinced she was possessed by demon'

A woman was beaten with a walking stick during a brutal exorcism organised by members of her own family, a court heard. Asma Hussain was tied to a bed and covered with holy water after relations became convinced she was possessed by a demon, it is alleged. Her husband Ahmed, 60, summoned the local Muslim preacher to carry out the ceremony and encouraged him to hit his wife harder, Snaresbrook Crown Court was told.
