All of the suspected witches were over 80 years old.
The BBC reported:
Eleven people accused of being witches have been burned to death by a mob in the west of Kenya, police say.
A security operation has been launched to hunt down villagers suspected of killing them in Kisii District.
The area has witnessed similar attacks in the past when people suspected of engaging in witchcraft have been killed or ostracised.
But correspondents say that this is a surprisingly large number of people to be attacked at the same time.
The BBC's Muliro Telewa in the region says that the eight women and three men were not burned at the same time.
A list was used and villagers pulled them from their houses individually, attacked and burned them outside and then set their homes alight.
Villagers told reporters that they had evidence the victims, all aged over 80, were witches.

ReplyDeleteIf these were Western reporters they probably believed it.
It takes a village.
ReplyDeleteSick. Sick, stupid people.
ReplyDeleteYes, we need more of these people in our countries, they have so much to teach us. They are simply expressing their culture and customs which are so much older than ours.
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note why do we allow these barbarians into our country and why do we waste foreign aid on what are essentially stone-aged, savage people?
"...11 people from their homes and torched them.
ReplyDeleteAll of the suspected witches were over 80 years old..."
To me, the craziest part of this story is the fact that there are 11 people over 80 years old, in Kenya/Africa???
I bet they were witches.
