Grandma burnt alive in Ghana for being a "witch"

A 72-year-old grandmother suffered one of the most barbaric of deaths when she was burnt alive by a mob at Tema Site 15 after being accused of being a witch.

A student-nurse, who appeared on the scene, attempted to rescue the old woman from her ordeal but the woman died of her burns within 24 hours of arrival at the Tema General Hospital.

  1. I didn't kill my mum: I killed the demon in her...
  2. Boy in Jamaica thrown around by a ghost?
  3. The Catholic Church is looking for exorcists...
  4. Hunted and killed, India's "witches"
  5. 11 year old Albino girl killed and mutilated in Swaziland...
