Man buries nephew alive in an act of witchcraft in Peruvian jungle
There were moans from beneath the ground. Rapid breathing that was becoming increasingly fainter. Gasps that begged for help.

On the outskirts of the town, a man blinded by his grief and superstitions has just committed an atrocity.
