Nine women stand accused of witchcraft and face criminal charges in a court in Kenya. The women from Kiagoro in the Kisii District of Kenya have been accused of intent to harm and witchcraft knowledge. It is claimed that they cast a spell on a local boy, which struck him dumb and forced him to walk from house to house for an entire night in April. The nine women nearly escaped a lynch mob who set after them seeking just for the 11 year old boy.
