What a very strange and tragic story out of India.
A newborn baby was killed last week when a pack of monkeys stole him from his parents and then threw him off a roof.
According to reports, the father of the child was with his wife and child standing on their thrid floor roof terrace when the monkeys surrounded them.
Again, according to reports, the father tried running away from them, holing his four-month old, when the baby fell out of his hands and to the ground, and one of the monkeys grabbing him, before the father could, and threw him over the side.
The child died immediately.
Family members tried to help but they were too late. The monkeys attacked them as well.
This apparently is NOT uncommon in India. Three years ago, a pack of wild monkeys chased a 60 year old women off of her roof, falling to her death.
Four years ago, a monkey fatally bit a 12 day old child after taking him from his mother.
