They were then beaten to death because 'magic users'

Police in the eastern state of Jharkhand, said a group of people, mainly women, mother and daughter on a hit to death, after concluding that they must be responsible for the recent death of the child disease in the village.

Local police chief Rakesh Bansal said the 70-year-old woman, and her 42-year-old daughter. "We have arrested 19 women in the village because Karonda Jor-related murders," Mr. Bansal said.

According to AFP, two people were killed on the evening of 11/6. Local residents met and decided to fine each of 1,500 rupees (26 dollars) for using magic. This money is then used to buy and drink alcohol to the villagers, before hitting the mother and daughter.

The case shows that in some areas due to poverty and the dominance of tribal India, people still have a mystical belief in magic, which leads to more crime.

June last year, also in this locality, a man and two children were also killed villagers. They are accused of using magic and "to the demons followed them".

These services also give themselves sometimes occur in remote areas and superstitions of India, where people are feared and revered the "sorcerer." They killed many people with the aim "to please or appease gods".
