I found this article online and found it to be very interesting. In Kuala Lumper, Malaysia, a group of relatives beat a malaysian couple to death. The relatives claimed that it was a ritual to persuade someone from not smoking. The couple had many head injuries because they were beaten by sticks and other objects. The couples children were also hurt. When the relatives told the man to stop, he didn't because he didn't think he could. The relative started to babble on how bad smoking is for you. There has been no findings on who exactly performed the beating "rituals" but police are still searching.

I must say- you picked an incredibly unique outside reading post. After reading through many others, this one finally caught my eye. I'm only confused about one little part- If the couple being beaten was a ritual to persuade someone not to smoke, why did at the end the relatives start telling the man that smoking was bad for you? Wouldn't he already know that hence the beating? Other than that I admire how you said all the important key details, so it keeps the article moving and the reader doesn't get board. Good Job!
