I don’t need to embellish this story. I’ll just tell it.
A couple of weeks ago, outside our office in Haiti, a young man accused a 20 year-old girl of being a loup-garou – a werewolf. She had, he said, been flying around the rooftops of Carrefour-Feuilles the off-limits inner-city area where no whites are seen, well, except me.
The accusation of being a loup-garou was enough and the locals went to work. At about 9.00 in the evening in a capital city they tortured her by ripping out her entrails. Then they ‘necklaced’ her: The pushed a tyre over her and set it on fire.
Next morning the smouldering remains were out in the street for all to see. The guts were strung around also.
