Tourists stoned to death on Cape Verde island

Three Italian women were brutally attacked while on a surfing holiday at a Cape Verde resort island, dragged into the woods, and left for dead at the bottom of a hole, according to the single survivor who recounted the tragedy today.

When she eventually regained consciousness, the teenager said, she crawled out of the hole and went for help. The two women with her, aged 28 and 33, had been stoned to death.
