'Girl tortured over witchcraft claims'

I was going to make a reference to ducks and Monty Python, but this is too depressing. From the Evening Standard of London:

A child accused of witchcraft by her aunt was tortured, tied up in a laundry bag and almost thrown into a river to drown, the Old Bailey heard today. The aunt changed her mind when she realised that under British law she would be jailed for murder, the court heard.

The entire world is going stark, raving mad.
