Villagers in mid-western Nepal have killed five suspected Maoists after rebels allegedly kidnapped a villager.

The killings of three women and two men took place at Laxmanpur village in Banke district on Saturday.

Local people were reportedly tense and carrying home-made weapons fearing retaliation from the Maoist insurgents.

There have been a number of similar incidents in which villagers have attacked and killed Maoist rebels over the past few weeks.
