Eight people in an impoverished Indian family were shot and beheaded in a suspected "honor killing" after a family member married a wealthy girl, UPI quoted police as saying today. Police in Bhagalpur in the northern Indian state of Bihar found the eight bodies floating in the Ganges River and charged 15 people, mostly from the girl's family, with the killings. The killings took place after Ratan Mandal, 21, eloped with Kanchan Kumari, 18, last month, police said. "The girl's family invited the boy's family for a meeting on the pretext of settling the dispute (over the marriage) but killed all eight and beheaded them," said senior police officer Raghunath Prasad Singh said.
