Here is the actual, original story...Reported by the BBC:
http://65.127.124.62/south_asia/4483241.stm.htm

This is the only ACTIVE link that I can still find to the original story...If you can't pull it up, let me know, and I'll find you another way to retrieve it...

There were also reports in a South Asian newspaper...But, I can't retrieve those now...I should have kept them while I had them...I'll keep looking if you need more...Just let me know ;)


Here are some of the current discussions about it at various places:

A glitch?...I know what you're thinking...But, I'm pretty sure it isn't possible....

why does it have an i.p address in the address? None of the other stories on BBC have one in the address.

Well...I wanted to stick around for a while and see how this pans out, but I can't find anything else about it at the moment and my guy is beginning to feel neglected...


So...If you guys discover anything new, let me know...



If it's a fake...It was pretty good...Gave us something to talk about, think about and maybe even hope for ;)...and that would explain why the other 2 'news' links that I had found just a few hours ago, are now mysteriously unable to be located...

If it's real...It's pretty cool...

I was actually kinda thinking that if it was real, the people probably weren't actually dead to begin with...There are chemicals than can mimic death, even slowing the heartrate to imperceptible levels, tetrodetoxin (found in blowfish) is the most well-known, and insects can produce many strange chemicals (especially ants), as well...So...I figured, the people only appeared dead...Then after a few hours, had appeared to 'come back' in the last stages of malaria-induced delerium...then really died after a couple of hours...That's how I rationalized it, anyway...


Either way...It won't change my life any...and that's what I get for 'stealing' a story...lol


Catch you guys afterwhile:)

I didn't realise it would get this much attention... the most posted in thread in True Crime in history I think... lol

yes as murder and zwoti have identified.. it's the I.P address that gives it away as being suss. Good hoax none the less.
