Africa Eye investigates elderly attacks made in a Kenyan coastal region, supposedly over witchcraft but really over land.

At least one elderly person loses their life every week in the name of witchcraft along Kenya’s stunning Kilifi coast.
Violent attacks on supposed witches occur across swathes of Africa and beyond, but the estimated 70 deaths reported here every year are about much more than fear of the supernatural.
Meeting victims, relatives and even perpetrators, #BBCAfricaEye investigates the real motives fuelling these brutal incidents and the impunity that often enables them, revealing that many elderly victims are targeted not by strangers, but the very people who should be protecting them - their own families.

I watched this and couldn’t stop shedding tears,it’s so sad that our elderly are treated that way. Katana has his land and people but he’s not comfortable going back to his own land. Why is our legal system like that??? Them not even knowing how many elderly people are killed in kilifi is a big JOKE. I grew up in Mombasa and black magic is something I have heard numerous times mostly when you cross those side of kilifi…malindi…kwale,when I was 17 my principal husband who was a pastor was lynched to death since he had gone to pray for people who were said to be performing witchcraft,it’s very very sad that our country still has to go through this kind of lifestyle. I’ve been to America and it’s a felony and it can come with a jail term to pose any kind of harm to an elderly person. They are very respected no matter what. David should either decide to take legal action and the village elders should stop this kind of if this happens this are the consequences….as a criminal justice major I can easily tell that all this is because of land and you can pick a lot of negativity from Chris body language. I hope the police can intervene and just make sure everyone is safe. Thank you for not only letting us know what’s going on,but for showcasing our beautiful country .

Living to old age is a death sentence. Its just sad, I shed tears from watching this and seeing the kind of pain and fear our elders are going through.

This is not only a case of ignorance but also a total failure of law and order. It seems the latter only exists to some degree in Nairobi where Kenya police gunned down 39 young people who were protesting against President Ruto's heartless tax bill. There is no excuse for this backwardness to be happening in this day and age.

To the people of Kilifi, I extend my heartfelt hope and belief that God will see you through these trying times. May He provide you with the strength to overcome the challenges you face. I pray that God will forgive those who have caused harm and suffering to parents, elders, fathers, and many others who have endured torture and hardship.

@@isaymymind1727 Africa is a CONTINENT . rural Kenya is a tiny portion of the very large CONTINENT that is nearly twice as large as Europe. Perhaps you should buy yourself a new brain because the one that screwed on top of your current rig has expired.

it is a curse for an old person to cry because of another one, those who did that to him I tell you it will be not good for you.

Curses?? The hypocrisy you are displaying is unfathomable. You are no different from the people who believe in witchcraft...basic civil education is what you need

It amazes me that so much ignorance exists on the continent. I've been to various countries throughout the continent and there seems to be a curse of decadence or lack of humanity on the people. There's no future without addressing the mindset.

I am from Kenya different tribe from one in the documentary and I cannot let anyone hurt my parents ,I cannot even imagine how someone can hurt his own mother or father just because you want to takeover their own property that they worked hard for

mind blowing that while some places are learning the secrets of the universe using cutting edge technology or building super chips and quantum computers etc Then you can fly for a few hours and find places that still burn ppl as witches in the 21st century

I am sorry but I don't believe a word Chris said, his whole approach and manerism to the interview says exactly what his father alleged. I could be wrong. He does not have a bit of time for his family meeting but has time for the journalist? Awe sure. This documentary is soo sad, made me cry.
