Researchers from Paul Sabatier University found that two women buried in an ancient tomb were the victims of a ritual murder more than 5,500 years ago .
The bodies, found in a pit designed to mimic a grain silo, were first uncovered 20 years ago in Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux , France .
Now, fresh analysis reveals that these women had their legs bent behind their backs and tied to their necks in a style of murder often associated with Mafia revenge killings.
This practice may have been believed to ensure good harvests and could have persisted in Europe for as much as 2,000 years .
In the case of the Mafia , it is believed that this is a punishment reserved for traitors. It is unclear why incaprettamento is so widespread but the researchers suggest that this method of murder is sometimes seen as a form of 'symbolic suicide'. The researchers write: 'It is the individual who, by strangling themselves, causes their death.'.
