RAGAHIB FARQUHAR MUSTAPHA, 15
Fifteen year-old Ragahib Farquhar Mustapha, the World
Spelling Bee Champion was found dead last night. Mustapha
was found hanging from a chandelier in the Convocation Hall
where only a few hours earlier he had been crowned the 2004
Champion. A noose had been tied together from several table-
cloths. The London Police were not ruling it a suicide until
the Coroner's Office had prepared their report.
However, Mustapha's father, Jaffir Farquhar blamed his son's
death on Lashone Dorsett, the teenage girlfriend who had
accompanied Mustapha to the Spelling Bee from Cleveland,
Ohio where both families live. Condfidential sources stated
that early reports indicated that Mustapha committed suicide
Lashone Dorsett was visibly upset at the lobby of the Royal
Hilton Executive Hotel, where she stated that she had deep
feelings for the deceased, and was heart-broken.
Sources claim that she reportedly told Investigators that
she had initiated
Victory. However, the young Mustapha, a devout Muslim, was
shamed due to his inability to maintain an erection. What
Ms. Dorsett had hoped to be a moment when she could express
her love for Mustapha became an incident of humiliation when
young Mustapha was only able to become erect after Ms.
Dorsett inserted her finger into his anus. This activity
reportedly shamed
ran out of the fifteen year-old girl's hotel room. A
few hours later he was found dead. Funeral Arrangements
are pending.
