NEW DELHI/BHUBANESWAR (BosNewsLife)-- Hindu extremists allegedly "tortured and killed" a native missionary in India's southern state of Andhra Pradesh last Thursday, when a court acquitted fellow militants in the murder of another, Australian, missionary and his two children, BosNewsLife learned from local sources Wednesday May 25.

Christian Aid Mission (CAM), which supports indigenous missionaries in the area, identified the murdered person only as Brother D. because of security fears.

"Apparently, Brother D. left his house with Gospel tracts early on the morning of May 19," indigenous ministry officials told BosNewsLife in an e-mail message released by CAM. "He never returned [and] his wife gave the police a missing person report [the same day]."

May 19 was also the date when the High Court of India's north-eastern state of Orissa overturned a death sentence given to Dara Singh for his involvement in the murders of Australian Missionary Graham Staines and his two young sons Philip and Timothy in 1999.
