8 family members beheaded
PATNA (India) - EIGHT members of a man's poverty-ridden family were
shot and beheaded before their bodies were thrown into a river in
eastern India after he secretly married a wealthy girl, police said on
Wednesday.
The weekend killing took place after 21-year-old Ratan Mandal eloped with 18-year-old Kanchan Kumari and got married secretly, afraid their families would never approve due to an old social rivalry.
'The girl's family invited the boy's family for a meeting on the pretext of settling the dispute, but killed all eight and beheaded them,' said Raghunath Prasad Singh, a senior police officer from Bhagalpur, where the incident took place. (Source: The Straits Times)
This seems like a perfectly reasonable and balanced reaction.......Ya, if your name is O.J. Simpson.
