Kristy Bamu suffered 101 different injuries from being attacked with a chisel, a hammer and a metal bar, and was in such pain that he begged to die, prosecutors told the Old Bailey in London. |

Feral and evil'
Ms Bamu also denies two charges of causing actual bodily harm to her other siblings.
The defendants are originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The jury heard that witchcraft or sorcery - called kindoki - is practised in Congolese Christian churches.
Mr Altman said that taken out of the church's control "it may take on a feral and indeed evil character, as we suggest it did here".
The court heard that in 2008 Mr Bikubi had accused a family friend of being involved in witchcraft and had forced her to cut her hair short to purge herself.
The trial continues.

I would say more like superstition as not all faiths have such superstitions, IMHO. Anyway, I don't care to get into this much.
I do support secular sanity to prevail, but I see some merit in people having a faith to believe in. I can understand your sentiments.
