AT least 18 tribal villagers in India's northeast were arrested for hacking to death a man they suspected of practising witchcraft, police said yesterday. The killing took place on Friday at a tea estate village in Assam's Cachar district, 300 kilometers south of the impoverished state's main city of Guwahati. They claimed they were told to kill the victim by a Hindu goddess who appeared in their dreams. Mobs have killed at least 200 people over the past five years who they have accused of practising sorcery and witchcraft.
