Everyone knows that trial by drowning or fire is the only real way to be sure..

Indian police began a probe on Monday into reports that villagers in a tribal area of central India beat 50 women with sticks after accusing them of witchcraft, and cut off their hair.

The villagers acted on the advice of a local spiritual man who said the assault would protect them from evil spirits, in a forest in a poor district of Chhattisgarh state, 400km (250 miles) from the capital Raipur, police said.

Dozens of women are killed every year on suspicion of being witches or witch doctors in India, where superstition is widespread, especially in rural areas that lack an effective schooling system.

While there are few killings in Chhattisgarh, more than 100 women are tortured, paraded naked or harassed in the state every year, officials say.

udge Beverley Lunt said Holding told police that the drug “was for elderly people who had aches and pains”.

Philip Holden, defending, said Holding’s customers “were of a certain age” and it was a “somewhat bizarre case”.

Wonder if she shouted “flame on” or “drop it like its hot” before striking the match.
A woman is in critical condition this afternoon after lighting herself on fire at a West Nashville church for the second time in two months, Nashville police and fire officials said.

Members of Grace Evangelical Church, 3701 Park Avenue, found the woman on fire in the church parking lot around 1 p.m., Capt. Rich Foley said. Church members put her out with towels.

The woman had apparently poured gasoline from a milk jug on herself and set herself on fire, said Nashville Fire Department spokesman Tim Lankford.

The same woman lit herself on fire during a church service on Nov. 16, suffering burns on her chest. The woman is believed to be in her mid-30s and from Ethiopia; the church has a large Ethiopian population, Foley said.

Must have been a joint operation. It was found and destroyed. But was it torched?

US and Afghan troops destroyed 2.5 tons of marijuana they found in an abandoned school in volatile southern Afghanistan, the US military said Sunday.

The massive drugs stash was uncovered on Saturday during a joint US-Afghan operation against Taliban rebels in the Arghistan district of Kandahar province, spokesman US Colonel Greg Julian told AFP.

“Afghan and coalition troops found and destroyed two-and-a-half tons of marijuana in a school in southern Afghanistan,” Julian said.

“The troops were on a foot patrol and they checked on this compound, the school and they found that stock of marijuana. They destroyed it the same day.”

How many times have we heard this story? Pitt bull > owner!

Two dogs mauled their 60-year-old owner to death Friday afternoon when he stepped into the backyard of his Rubidoux home to smoke, officials said.

Nationwide, all breeds of pit bulls were responsible for 110 human deaths from 1982 to 2006, according to statistics compiled by Animal People magazine from media reports.

Gerald Adelmund was declared dead at the cream-colored house in the 5700 block of Kenwood Place after deputies pulled him inside, said Riverside County sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez. The dogs were described as a 4-year-old, 107-pound male, part pit bull and part mastiff, and a 52-pound female pit bull, about 6.

Outside Adelmund’s front door lay a mat reading “Wipe Your Paws.”

Its hunting season, chances are… it is not human.

Pathologists can’t tell whether a heart found this week at a Paw Paw car wash is that of a human or animal and plan to submit the organ for DNA testing to make a final determination, the village’s police chief said Friday.

“They’ve looked at it but they’ve said the same things the doctors here have said,” Chief Patrick W. Alspaugh said. “They can’t make any conclusions.”

Alspaugh said police took the heart to a local veterinarian, who was unable to determine if it was from an animal or a human. A Paw Paw cardiologist told police the heart was consistent in size to a human heart, but also was unable to reach a definitive conclusion, the chief said.

Calico cats always keeping the black mouse down.

Mice may be responsible for a blaze that killed nearly 100 cats at an animal shelter near the Canadian city of Toronto, officials say.

The fire at the humane society shelter in Oshawa also killed three dogs and some rats that were up for adoption.

An initial report from the fire marshal says mice or rats chewing through electrical wires in the ceiling are likely to have sparked the blaze.

Offers of help have been pouring in from animal lovers across Canada.

“Unfortunately, the mice probably perished in the fire as well,” he added.
