PACHUCA, MEXICO - THREE suspects confessed to strangling and cutting into pieces a woman and her three-month old daughter because they feared they were witches, police in this central Mexican town said on Tuesday.

Pachuca police spokesman Ms Norberto Munoz said the remains of the woman and her infant were found 'with signs of having been strangled, quartered and burned.'

The three female suspects - who police have not named - were arrested 'and declared that they committed the crime to stop supposed acts of witchcraft of the mother and her daughter,' Ms Munoz said.

The remains of the victims were found in the ashes of a furnace in the town of Coyuya, an indigenous town in the mountain region of Hidalgo state.

Ahh, our newest citizens-to-be? This sounds like something out of the dark ages—at least the Inquisition.

This begs the constant question. If she was a real witch then couldn't she make those aholes go away?

(Apologizing in advance for my total lack of sensitivity to the reality of the horror of this crime.....)

Were they justly tried as witches? Put on the largest scales and found to weigh as much as a duck? Built into a bridge?

(Sorry, the Obama made me do it.)

“with signs of having been strangled, quartered and burned.”

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence but a sacred “threefold death” is a very ancient form of ritual sacrifice.

Are their “crops failing”, by any chance?

Otherwise, they’re 29 days early for the “usual festivities”.

Do not judge them for their culture is just as valid and wonderful as anyother. Or so sayeth the libs. Personally i’m sick of my town being overrun by people who don’t practice American cultural values.

And yet, a couple months later, it turns out it's OUR veep candidate who has a close connection to Kenyan witch hunters.

How did this happen?
