Malawi cops arrest 140 in crackdown on attacks on 'vampires'
Malawi police have arrested 140 people and charged them with murder or inciting violence after a series of mob attacks killed around seven people on suspicion of them being 'vampires'. The attacks started last month over rumours about blood-sucking incidents in the country. Police said robbers have been taking advantage of the situation by setting up roadblocks to harass people.
