Am I Missing Something Here..?

A Nigerian politician and his wife have been charged with plotting to traffic a homeless 15-year-old boy to Britain to harvest his organs.
Ike Ekweremadu, 60, an opposition senator and former deputy senate president, and his wife, Beatrice Nwanneka Ekweremadu, 55, appeared at Uxbridge magistrates court in west London on Thursday. The couple were arrested on Tuesday at Heathrow airport before they flew to Turkey, the court heard. Both deny the allegations.

...because unless in addition to being a politician and accountant, one of them is also a surgeon, shouldn't there be someone else in the dock with them? 

The couple were remanded in custody until their next court appearance on 7 July.

Presumably because otherwise they'd abscond. Is it me, or does the news get more disturbing every day?

Its probably an undercover cop who pretended to be a surgeon offered services as a surgeon to allow these nutters to incriminate themselves.

Creating crimes and then solving them.

It was probably done by our 'wonder of the world' NHS. Two random Africans turn up with a child and demand its organs be removed and no-one would dare say anything for fear of being called racist.......'Its their culture, innit?'

As the news becomes more shocking the less shocked we become.

The Jude Law movie about organs bought on credit, is finally spawning real commerce?
