NEW DELHI — A tribal religion villager in India killed his 32-year-old niece with axe blows and stones last week, claiming she and her relatives had no right to ancestral farmland because they had become Christians, sources said.

Bindu Sodi of Toylanka village, Kotewarpara in Dantewada District, Chhattisgarh state had been the sole breadwinner for her mother, sister, younger brother, his wife and their 2-year-old child. The surviving relatives cannot return home due to death threats.

Two weeks before the killing, Bindu Sodi’s uncle, Chetu Sodi, and his son, Kumma Sodi, intruded onto land belonging to her younger brother, Bhima Sodi, sowing seeds on one-third of the parcel.
