Bloody voodoo madness: over 100 dead after massacre in Haiti!

In Haiti, a cruel massacre occurred in the capital Port-Au-Prince on Friday and Saturday, in which over 100 people were killed. The leader of a gang, Monel Felix, also known as a micanord, had people murdered in the poor district of Cité Soleil. The reason? An accusation of "witchcraft" because the gang's son died of a mysterious illness. This imposed retribution measures against older people, who in his opinion were connected to Voodoo. The victims' corpses were mutilated and burned on the street, as Today.at reported.

Haiti has been suffering from the violent gangs for years, and belief in Voodoo plays a complex role in culture. Despite a majority of Christian citizens in the country, Voodoo has been recognized as a religion since 2003. It is speculated that the attack by Felix was directed to the feeling of revenge that are due to his son's death. The incident shows the extreme measures that result from superstition and the need for retaliation, such as Spiegel.de Note.
