Uganda: Mob Burns Suspected Witchdoctor to Death
 A man was at the weekend burnt alive over allegations of practicing witchcraft in Opiro village in Moyo Sub-county.Oo ee. The dear departed, Francis Dramari, 57, a butcher in Moyo town was burnt alive in his grass thatched house. Oo ah ah. Mr Ingenious Dragudu, the acting District Police Commander, told Daily Monitor that three people have been tossed in the clink. Ting tang. "We have arrested three people in connection to the killing and there should be no compromise on this because it is a barbaric act that should be condemned and should not continue in society," he said. Walla walla. According to the DPC, adducing evidence on witchcraft has always been difficult in court cases and that people should avoid acting on rumours. Bing. Bang. An eye witness who did not want to be named for fear of reprisal from the community, said: "Some of us never wanted the man to be burnt but the angry mob overpowered us, locked him (Dramari) inside the house and set it ablaze. By the time the police arrived, it was too late because the man had been burnt already." If he'd been a real witch doctor he'da turned 'em all into weasels. The three suspects were picked from the bush hiding. Posted by: Fred 2016-10-11 |
