Spiritual soap
AFP reports:
Three people, one a tantric, have been charged with murder after pouring boiling oil over a four-and-a-half-year-old girl before beheading her as part of a religious sacrifice, police said Friday.Apparently the girl had been handed over to the tantric by a woman who was advised by him that she needed to "sacrifice a child to be cleansed spiritually". I hope she's feeling fresh now.
The tantric and two accomplices were arrested Wednesday at Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh.
The body of the girl, named Surjo, was found in a field the previous day. She had been "beheaded, her fingers cut off and her hair burnt to a cinder", a police spokesman said.
