Khunti (Jharkhand): An elderly woman was burnt to death allegedly by another woman on the suspicion of being a witch, whose 'black magic' led to the death of the latter's newly born twins within a fortnight in Khunti district.

Anita Soy of Anantpur village delivered twin girls on November 15. One of them died on December 3 and the other one last night, Superintendent of Police Ashwini Kumar Sinha said. After the death of one child, the other one was also not keeping well. Anita asked her neighbour, Susari Buru (62), to cure the girl but she too died last night, the police officer said.

Following this, Anita suspected that Buru was a witch and her black magic was responsible for the death of her daughters, Sinha said. Enraged, Anita poured kerosene on Buru and set her on fire on Thursday night leading to her death, the SP said, adding Anita has been detained.
