Exorcism Murders

The German police have arrested five South Koreans on suspicion of murder following the death of a relative in an exorcism ritual in the city of Frankfurt, prosecutors said on Thursday.

Officers discovered the body of the 41-year-old woman in a room in the Hotel InterContinental on Saturday when the suspects called a priest after it became apparent that the victim had died, prosecutor Nadja Niesen said. “When he saw what had happened he notified the reception, and they called the police.”

She identified the suspects as relatives of the victim a 44-year-old woman, her 21-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter, and two 15-year-old boys, one of whom is the son of the dead woman.

One big family

“They all belonged to one big family,” Ms. Niesen said. “They came to Germany from South Korea six weeks ago and had rented a house in Sulzbach, but didn’t stay there much.”

Ms. Niesen said the suspects wanted to expel a “demon” they believed had possessed the woman. They exerted “massive force on her chest and stomach area” while stuffing a towel and clothes hanger into her mouth to stop her screaming, she said.

The Michael Taylor case from Ossett in 1974 really is the stuff of true horror. Clearly severe mental illness exasperated by god nuts in a cult like something from the dark ages.
 
Not quite a murder but the child is as good as dead, a truly horrific case.

A case where two parents were convicted of neglect of and cruelty to their young daughter was the first instance of “faith-based abuse” prosecuted in Ireland, gardaí have said.

The married couple, originally from North Africa, had pleaded not guilty to two charges of assault causing serious harm and three charges of child cruelty at the family home in Dublin on dates between June 28th and July 2nd, 2019.

Speaking outside the court following the conviction, Det Insp Brian Downey said the nine-year-old child had been abused during an “exorcism” at the hands of her parents.

After a 12-day trial at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, a jury of six men and five women found each parent guilty of all counts. The jury heard evidence that at one stage the father told a detective that he had carried out a ritual to get a “devil” to leave the child’s body.

“This is the first case I think in Ireland where we had faith-based abuse,” Det Insp Downey said. “The child had suffered at the hands of her parents an exorcism, which involved pain, burning, cutting, choking and ultimately a serious, serious assault,” he said.

The child had been left with major injuries, as a result of the “horrendous physical abuse”. The young girl had been left “incapable of having any control over her body, she can no longer see, hear, touch, she can’t swallow”, the garda said.

The girl requires care on a 24/7 basis, and “will not recover”, the garda told reporters.

The jury also heard evidence that at one stage the father told a detective that he had carried out a ritual to get a "devil" - 'a djinn or spirit' - to leave the child's body after contacting a friend who was a 'Ruqyah' - an Islamic faith healer.
