    Two Children Die Imitating Rare Execution

    Wed Aug 25, 8:29 AM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!



    BOMBAY (Reuters) - India's first execution in 13 years has claimed an additional toll of at least two children dead in mishaps as they re-enacted the highly publicized hanging of a man convicted of raping and murdering a schoolgirl.



    Two weeks ago, 41-year-old Dhananjoy Chatterjee was hanged in the eastern city of Calcutta after 13 years on death row.


    On Sunday, 14-year-old Prem Gaekwad died when he tied one end of a rope around his neck and swung the other end on a ceiling fan in his Bombay home, in an apparent re-enactment.

    Strangely enough, so did I, moe. He was trying to "fake" hang himself to scare his brother... at least that's what everyone decided to believe.

    With a name like that, I'm starting to doubt the "accidental" nature of this apparent suicide.

    odd, I hadn't actually seen him in a while when it happened... but as I recall he was playing with some rope on a tree and i guess it all happened from there.

    This thread is disturbing. I don't want to read the running with scissors thread now definitely.

    Not to be insensitive, but I just realized I've been reading the whole thread with the voice of the guy from the Kwiki mart from the Simpsons... Don't know why...
