Priest Murdered in India, Torture Feared
19-08-2008
Bangalore, Aug. 18, 2008 (CWNews.com) -
A Carmelite priest has been murdered and disfigured-- in a way that
suggests torture-- in India's southern Andhra Pradesh state.
Father
Thomas Pandipally was killed on Saturday night after he left a convent
on his motorbike after celebrating Mass. Nuns at the convent discovered
the priest's body on Sunday morning; police recovered his motorbike a
few miles away.
"There are 6
major wounds in his body. Two on his chest, on the abdomen and on the
face. All these clearly indicate that he was brutally murdered," said a
spokesman for the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate. Father Pandipally had
been the director of that congregation's center at Yellareddy.
The
Andhra Pradesh state has witnessed two dozen major attacks on
Christians this year; three evangelical pastors were killed during the
previous two years.
