A coven of witches chopped off a man's arms and burned him
alive when he asked them for help treating his sick 10-year-old son, police
say.
Brijlal Chopra's wife and son told police they watched helplessly
as he was stabbed repeatedly and hacked with axes before the witches set him on
fire with kerosene-soaked rags.
'They were laughing and dancing around his body to music
while he screamed in agony. In the end there was just a pile of ashes left,'
said a police spokesman in Mandla, Madhya Pradesh, the closest city to where
the ritual slaying happened
Mr Chopra had sought out the local witchdoctor - known only
as Parvati - for treatment for his 10-year-old son, said police.
But as soon as the family reached her commune, Parvati
branded Mr Chopra a rival sorcerer and ordered her disciples to kill him.
