A Pakistani Christian bonded labourer and his pregnant wife killed for alleged blasphemy were locked inside a brick-making factory before their murder to prevent them from fleeing their debts, relatives said Wednesday.
Shehzad Masih and Shama Bibi, who was four months pregnant and a mother to three children, were later beaten, surrounded by a crowd of up to 1,500 villagers then thrown on top of a lit furnace, multiple witnesses said.
By the time the Muslim mob was done, only charred bones and their discarded shoes remained.
The gruesome incident took place Tuesday in the tiny hamlet of Chak 59 (village 59) near Kot Radha Kishan town, some 60 kilometres (40 miles) southwest of Lahore.
It has sparked protests by Christians and outrage among rights activists, with police arresting 44 suspects Wednesday.

This is common in Muslim-majority countries, especially Pakistan.
