Maoist guerrillas hacked two villagers to death in Orissa's Gajapati district early Wednesday after accusing them of being police spies, authorities said.

"More than 20 armed rebels dragged Dinabandhu Mantri and Sadananda Sual Singh, a village guard, out of their homes at Katama village at about 2 a.m. The Maoists tied their hands with ropes and killed them," Superintendent of Police Sanjib Arora told IANS.
