Four people have been charged with lynching and burning to death an elderly man in Mozambique who was accused of being a sorcerer.
The 73-year-old man was killed in Zavala in southern Inhambane province.

One of the heads of the Association of Traditional Doctors of Mozambique, in the district of Zavala, has also been indicted for the crime of exposing an elderly person to danger.
It was reported that the public beat up the elderly man after the traditional doctor linked him to sorcery.
