Sister Valsa John was killed last week when a mob of villagers, incited by Maoist rebels, of approximately forty-five people broke into her home and beat her to death. Her body was recovered by officials last Wednesday.
Although authorities were initially unsure who was behind the murder their suspicions of Maoist involvement, following interviews with villagers and the discovery of Maoist pamphlets at the scene of the crime, proved correct on November 22 when Maoist rebels admitted that they were responsible for the killing.
