Murder suspects made to walk on embers in Pakistani village
A village council in Pakistan ordered four men suspected in the killing of a woman to walk on fire in a centuries-old ritual to prove their guilt or innocence, police said today.
The four, accused of killing Saeda Mai for her jewellery, were made to step across eight feet of burning embers, said Zahoor Qureshi, police chief in Rasoolpur village, where the ritual was performed.
