MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) -- Mexican authorities have arrested a 78-year-old man on charges he killed a woman he believed was a witch who had put a spell on him.
Santiago Iniguez Olivares is accused of bludgeoning Modesta Navarro Nieves and her husband at their home in the mountainous Guadalupe del Cobre community in April 1998, the Michoacan state attorney general's office said Thursday. The husband survived.
Olivares had been on the run until recently, when he returned to Guadalupe del Cobre because he thought the 11-year-old murder had been forgotten, the attorney general's office said.
Authorities arrested him while he was walking to a bus station, the Apatzingan Valley Information Agency said on its Web site.
According to officials, Iniguez Olivares went into the woman's home, accused her of putting a witch's spell on him and started to beat her with a stick. The woman's husband then came home and Iniguez Olivares turned the club on him before fleeing, the attorney general's office said in a release.
Guadalupe del Cobre is a remote village in western Mexico.
This is second case in 18 months involving the slaying of someone accused of witchcraft.
Authorities arrested a woman in June 2008 in central Mexico on charges that she had killed another woman for similar reasons, La Voz de Michoacan newspaper said.

Wow ... that's creepy ... this man must be mad ... um ... Maybe he thought that woman imposed a love spell about he ... lol ...
yeah, at this point ... There are many people who read letters and go with witches ...
although I think it is more interesting when you come across a gypsy who can read hands ... lol XD
um ... A more recent case is ... in the city of Hermosillo, older brother watched a monster at home, then took a baseball bat and started hitting the monster ... when the monster was shot down ...
but this not was a monster, it was his younger brother.
and if they talk about ghosts and spirits ... mexico´s a bit like Japan in that regard.
in the city of Alamos, many tourists come from around the world.
and as this city is old, there are many legends. "the corner of kiss" "Elizabeth Franklin" There are so many romantic stories with unhappy endings. There are also ghost stories ... XD
