PACHUCA, Mexico - Three women have confessed to strangling and cutting into pieces a woman and her three-month-old daughter because they feared they were witches, Mexican police said today.
Pachuca police spokesman Norberto Munoz said the remains of the woman and her infant were found "with signs of having been strangled, quartered and burned".
The three female suspects - who police have not named - were arrested "and declared that they committed the crime to stop supposed acts of witchcraft of the mother and her daughter," Munoz said.
The remains of the victims were found in the ashes of a furnace in the town of Coyuya, an indigenous town in the mountain region of Hidalgo state.
