This Day in History: As reported in the May 14 1903 article in The Sun, an unnamed person was beaten to death with a Bible during a healing ceremony gone wrong in Honolulu. He was being treated for malaria when his family summoned a Kahuna (sorcerer) who decided he was possessed by devils and tried to exorcise the demons; the Kahuna was charged with manslaughter. Source
This is just one of many deaths that occurred during an exorcism. 28 year old father Eder Guzman-Rodriguez believed that his 2-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, was possessed by demons. Eder first killed his wife in order to prevent her from stopping the exorcism. "Guzman-Rodriguez said that the baby made motions that she wanted to fight during the exorcism. Then he claims that the demon entered his own body, causing him to beat and strangle the little girl, which caused fractured ribs, scrapes, bruises on a lung, and bleeding. When the police arrived they found Bibles and other religious books surrounding the baby on the bed." Source
"A 22-year-old woman died during an exorcism ritual in New Zealand, drowning at a relative’s home as up to 40 family members looked on...Janet Moses, a mother of two, was held under water in an attempt to drive away a makutu, or Maori curse. Containers holding an extensive amount of water were brought into the lounge of the house, in Wellington, for the ceremony. The woman had been dead for nine hours before her family contacted police. She had been placed on a bed and was found with grazes to her upper arms, forearms and torso." Source

The only other instance that I could find of someone being beaten to death by a Bible happened in Maine in 2015. After a party, three Muslim refugees beat a Christian man to death with his own King James Bible. Source
