Saturday a hougan was beaten to death by unidentified individuals before being found decapitated near a cemetery in Toman, a locality of Gantier (West).

According to testimony, the voodoo priest was accused of black magic practices that caused the death of a woman and a former church director.

Let's recall that this is the second voodoo priest beheaded this year https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-17236-icihaiti-flash-a-voodoo-priest-beheaded.html

Unfortunately these beliefs or popular superstitions of satanism or witchcraft remain very much alive in Haiti, remember last March, the lynching at the entrance of Cabaret, of 3 dumb women suspected of being witches https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-17033-haiti-social-the-triple-lynching-of-disabled-women-provokes-outrage.html
