A mob burned alive a 40-year-old woman on Friday after accusing her of casting black magic spells in a remote village in southern Nepal, police said.
Dengani Mahato died after she was severely beaten, doused in kerosene and set alight for allegedly practising witchcraft, Gopal Bhandari, a superintendent of police in Chitwan district, said.
"Nine people started to beat her after a local shaman pointed the finger at her over the death of a boy a year ago," the officer said.
"They accused her of having hands in the death of the boy, who had drowned in a river." Full story...
