A young man in Malawi suspected of vampirism or blood sucking
has been beaten up, set ablaze and killed by a mob near Blantyre. He was found
by a graveyard near a main road outside the city and taken to a police station
on Thursday.
It is likely that he was suffering from a mental illness or
epilepsy as he was carrying a health card and may have been returning from
hospital, BBC was told.
A mob who had heard about the "vampire" rumours
invaded the police station and dragged him outside. His death brings the number
of those killed for being suspected “vampires” to eight since September.
