Six Family Members Hacked To Death In Tantrik Murder

by Earl Morningstarr

Six members of the same family were brutally murdered this weekend in their home in Eastern India. The victims were viciously hacked to death, two of them were decapitated and the heads are still missing.

The victims have been named as 50 year old Harakanta Doley, his wife, two teenage daughters a six year old son and a six year old nephew. Both the young boys were beheaded and their heads taken from the scene.

Police and community elders believe that the only motive for the murders was black magic ritual sacrifice.

“We strongly suspect it to be a case of some sorcerer or black magician committing the crime and taking away the heads of the two small boys. There was no personal enmity and the family was very poor and had no property as well,” said K. Teron, a local tribal community elder.

“The incident took place on the Amavasya night (Amavasya, or the new moon, is the last day of the waning moon) and this night is preferred by practitioners of black magic for performing rituals like human sacrifice. We, therefore, strongly suspect that this incident was nothing but driven by superstitious beliefs,” Ananta Doley, another local elder, said.
