Police in Yemen have arrested a koran healer who allegedly cures spiritual and
physical diseases by reciting verses from the Koran, after the death of a
patient in northern city of Ibb.
Relatives of a 23-year-old woman had taken her to the spiritual doctor saying she suffered from psychological problems.
The
husband of the newly-married woman said that the healer told them that she was
suffering from a demonic possession and magic
and that he had to use forces to
treat her. The woman died when the man trampled over her neck in an attempt to “exorcise
a demon from her body”.
The husband collapsed when he heard
about the death of his wife as they had only recently married. Many koran healing centers can be found in every corner of the
country. Healers say that this practice can treat mental and other diseases.
