A school bus driver in Kenya died after drinking a potion brewed by a "witch doctor" to prove he had not stolen books, sparking angry protests from villagers.
The school directors in a village in Kisii County hired a witch doctor to seek out the thief of school books, with the driver volunteering to drink a potion to prove he was innocent.
"The driver was dared ... to prove his innocence by drinking the mixture," local police chief Simon Kiragu said.
"The 33-year old collapsed and died immediately after the drink."
Furious villagers then took revenge on school leaders by torching the school bus and the deputy director's house.

Nutters, but I wonder how many of them think that his death is proof of his guilt?
Reminds me of the dunking to prove a witch. If she floated, she was a witch, and then killed. If she drowned, she was innocent.
That's a fair cop.
