‘After the noose is tied to his neck, he is lowered into a pit. He is allowed to hang for half an hour.’

EEEW! Do they burn the body or do they just cut the rope, thow in some quicklime and fill in the pit?

Thanks for the info!

Heh heh!

It should read “dropped” and not ‘lowered’. The “pit” is the cavity below the trap-door. The body is later handed over to the family.
