'Haunted' Saudi woman tortures herself to death
2011-12-24
[Emirates 24/7] A Saudi woman said to be haunted by jinn (spirits) beat and tortured herself with fire until she fell unconscious and died later at hospital.

The 40-year-old woman was admitted with severe burns and injuries to King Fahd hospital in the western town of Madina and doctors said they tried in vain to save her life.

"We have determined that the woman beat herself up and tortured herself with fire because she is gripped by jinn," police front man Colonel Abdullah Al Sarani told the Saudi Arabic language daily Okaz.

"Investigation showed the other members of her family are also controlled by jinn...we closed the case as no criminal act is involved."
