Pedro Nunez Alvarez's father killed himself. Ruling out any chemical or psychological causes like severe depression, Alvarez and a couple of his relatives got together and murdered 28-year-old Lucas Dominguez for causing the man's suicide with an "evil eye" spell. Oh, and this just happened in present-day Mexico. It seems Dominguez made his living practicing witchcraft (and Lou Dobbs nods in approval that he didn't take the job of an American witch), and the Alvarez clan feared that he might cast other spells on their family. According to them, they stabbed Dominguez seven times and crushed his skull with a rock in self-defense. When they were caught, they were attempting to burn his body to "purify" it. Now who's practicing witchcraft? More details here.
