Ritual Murders

Whilst looking at black magic in Africa, I was very disturbed to read in an article called 'Belief in Witchcraft Widespread in Africa'  that men, women and children were brutally killed, their limbs and other parts of the body hacked off with knives and machetes whilst they were still alive. The ones who had most to fear were albinos whose arms, fingers, ears and blood were thought to contain magical powers and were highly prized on the black market. It is shocking that some people are so obsessed with the idea of black magic that they will go to great lengths to achieve what they want. But are all of them successful? 

Couple Kill their Baby in a Black Magic Ritual

According to one report, a couple in Pakistan killed their 3 month old baby in a black magic ritual believing it would make them rich. Police were able to rescue their other daughter aged 3 years who was found lying on the floor with her hands and feet tied, half unconscious. Marks of the strings can be seen on her wrists in the Urdu news report in the video above. (Full report)

The couple were Muslims and even though Islam prohibits the practice, it is shocking to see that they were still prepared to kill their  own children. Did they achieve what they wanted? No. Both were convicted of murder for which in Pakistan the punishment is life imprisonment or the death penalty.

Sorcerer from Hell !

Police found the bodies in the sugar cane field 

near Suradji's home

In Indonesia where black magic is prevalent,  Ahmad Suradji pleaded guilty to murdering 42 women over 11 years. The victims who were aged between 11 and 30 were first buried up to the waist in a sugar plant near Suradji’s home as part of the ritual, and then strangled with a cable. He buried them with their heads facing his house which he believed would give him extra powers.  (Full report) 

Suradji also did not achieve what he wanted through black magic? After taking so many innocent lives he was executed.

Sickening !....Roasted Foetuses used for Black Magic

The Telegraph reported that a Briton, Chow Hok Kuen, was caught with unborn baby corpses  in his suitcase. He had bought the foetuses from Thailand for £4000 and was expecting to sell them in Taiwan for six times as much.  The foetuses were first roasted and then covered in gold leaf.  People in Thailand use them in in black magic rituals because they believe it will bring them luck and will make them rich.

Where did the foetuses come from? Was the mother killed for them or was it an abortion? It is astonishing that people who buy such foetuses did not consider the ethics of what they are doing.  Kuen was arrested by police so he didn't have much luck. What I find ironic about this story is that such foetuses could not make the poor rich because they couldn't afford to buy them and those who could afford them were already rich so they didn't need to buy them.
