Couple Beheaded Because They Were Mangkukulams

In the WTF? department:

BACOLOD - An elderly couple were beheaded by neighbors who accused the victims of being witches, police said Wednesday. Police in the remote town of Cauayan on Negros island detained three men including the victims' son-in-law, who was implicated by the two other suspects in the grisly July 4 killings. Generoso Casupong, 65, and his 64 year-old wife Isabelita were both decapitated inside their home by two men armed with a large curved knive used to harvest coconut fruit, said Cauayan police investigator Alvin Cuenca. Detained suspect Eugenio Tanguar blames the couple for the death of his daughter from unspecified illness last year.
