Islamic State, ISIS, beheaded two women last weekend accused of witchcraft and working with elves in eastern Syria.
The 2 women have become the first to be beheaded by the Islamic extremist group, after being accused of witchcraft, sorcery and working with elves, according to reports emerging from eastern Syria.
The executions, for a supposed breach of sharia law, were carried out on Sunday and Monday respectively, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group based in Britain, said.
In separate executions, both women were put to death alongside their husbands in Deir ez-Zour province - the first in Deir ez-Zour city on Sunday, the second in Mayadin on Monday after being accused of using un-Islamic medicine by the extremist group.
The group says that this would be the first time the self-styled caliphate has killed women in this way.
