Island
of Blood
Excerpt from the book
 "Two
hundred metres ahead, we stumbled upon a gruesome sight. There were seven young
men lying in the middle of the road, tied together. They were anywhere between
eighteen and twenty-five years old. They had been "necklaced". Around
each man's neck was a burning car tyre. Their bodies bore signs of torture.
Knives had gashed their skin, blunt instruments had bruised their joints, and
cigarette stubs had burnt holes all over their bodies. Their throats had been
slit. Their eyes were closed, their bodies still. But I thought I heard one
young man gasp. I could have sworn I saw his toe twitch. I saw a gush of blood
spurt from his slit throat. And then, nothing."
