Man who offered one day old infant for sacrifice stoned to death - Port Louis, Mauritius - FIRST PUBLISHED on hipfox. A man who snatched a one day old infant from his sister-in-law's arms was yesterday stoned to death by a mob of angry villagers who were alarmed of the incident by screams coming from the mid-wife.
The man's wife was giving birth in their two room mud-thatched shack, with assistance from her sister at around 12 noon. According to the mid-wife, who is also the mother's sister, the man walked into the room as soon as the baby was delivered and grabbed the blood-soaked infant from her arms then ran out of the home.
The mid-wife immediately started screaming and neighbors came out to find her crying hysterically and pointing at the disappearing father.
