People are victimized under superstitious beliefs in parts of India.
Rumanian media Libertatea reported on Nov. 25 that a male "sorcerer” sacrificed the lives of two young boys to strengthen his black magic powers.
Local police found the dead bodies of the children and an instrument assumed to be the murder weapon in the house of the sorcerer. Along with the man, six family members of the boys were arrested the previous day for aiding and abetting in the crimes.
One of the two bodies has been confirmed to be a youth missing from a village about 45 km away from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, last Tuesday. The other one is a six-year-old reported missing since last March.
"The bodies were found buried with a trident in the house of the murderer,” said the police chief. "He confessed he killed the youths to raise his black magic powers and earn a fortune.” The trident is the symbol of the Goddess Durga or strength.
A few countryside towns in India still recognize the practice of black magic and human sacrifice.
A married couple killed five boys last March to have a baby of their own upon getting advice from a sorcerer. In April, the body of a beheaded male worker was found at a temple in West Bengal.
