One man was
killed and two others were badly hurt today by villagers in India who
accused them of raping and hanging a seven-year-old girl. The
girl was discovered hanging from a tree near the village of Kaliabazar,
West Bengal, this morning and angry villagers quickly rounded up a
local 'Tantrik' holy man and his two friends.
The trio were mercilessly beaten. One later died in hospital and the two others are still being treated.
There
is as yet no evidence that the girl was raped before she was killed.
Police said they are not ruling out a family feud as the motive behind
the killing.
'We
are awaiting the autopsy report to confirm rape,' said a police
officer. 'There was also some enmity between the families of the girl
and the prime accused, Ratan Das.'
