Will Of God Costs Priest in Baptism Tragedy Trial
In South Africa a priest was fined 140 dollars for drowning a woman during a baptism in the Vaal River last April, saying it was the will of God. Witnesses alleged he pushed the woman underwater multiple times and failed to warn her to hold her breath. He admitted he had conducted baptisms this way for years without deaths, but did not inform the woman of his intent. The case progresses toward an indictment as the state withholds key witnesses. Reports also note an ongoing grand jury session in a separate massacre case with limited witness testimony.
