School bus driver accused of stealing died after drinking witch doctor's potion to prove innocence

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.
