Anandpur: Four persons have been arrested in connection with a murder case over suspicion of sorcery at Pindhapokhari village under Joda block of Keonjhar district.

Those arrested were identified as Tutu Munda, Sendha Munda, Misra Munda and Durga Munda.

The accused had allegedly beat Sudam Munda to death suspecting him of practising sorcery.

According to sources, mother of Tutu had died due to some ailments a few days ago. However, Tutu held Sudam, whom he accused of practising sorcery in the village, responsible for her death.

He along with four to five fellow villagers went to Sudam’s house and beat him up severely with a stick, killing him on the spot. They later dumped the body in a nearby nullah.

On receiving information about the incident, police reached the village last night and recovered the body.

Based on the statements of the villagers, the cops arrested Tutu and three others for their alleged involvement in the crime.
