Russian toddler killed during exorcism

A four-year-old Russian boy was allegedly killed this week by bungling Korean witch doctors.

The family of little Dmitry Kazachuk took him to the home of two Koreans who were well known in the area for curing people’s ailments with traditional medicines. But when the healers clapped eyes on the toddler they misdiagnosed his pneumonia as demonic possession, and shouted that he was “Lucifer the Demon”.

The boy’s mother trustingly left the child with the mystics for up to an hour, but when she returned her son was lying dead on the floor. It is believed that the youngster suffocated as the pair of quacks held him face down on the floor.

A local paramedic who spoke to Reuters said the witch doctors had attempted to resuscitate the boy, but had failed miserably.
