'Sorcerer' killed in Mexico
Officials in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas say at least four indigenous people were killed and five injured when a group of men attacked a house in the town of Chamula. Local officials say one of the men killed was known in the area as a sorcerer. The gang forced their way into the house at night and hung a man accused of practising voodoo; the others were shot. The police say they have arrested a man linked to the attack. From the newsroom of the BBC World Service |
