Burning of witches seems to be something that should have stopped somewhere way back in history, but it's still happening in India according to a recent Reuter reports. Dozens of women accused of witchcraft are burned each year in India. The latest was a couple who were burnt to death after villagers accused them of practicing black magic, tied them together on a pyre and set them on fire. Both were farm laborers near the southern city of Hyderabad who also practiced traditional medicine. Six villagers have since been arrested.
Still in India, the Supreme Court there has been a stay on the death sentence of a former politician who shot his "unfaithful wife", dismembered her, and roasted her in the tandoori oven of a restaurant. The man is appealing against his death sentence.
