A man has been arrested after decapitating his 10-year-old granddaughter in order to appease the ancient gods and grant a bountiful harvest.
The elderly man, a rural resident of a tribal area of India’s Orissa state, planned to sow seeds mixed with the girl’s blood, thinking this would undoubtedly confer a good harvest.
Villagers had found that he cut off the girl’s head with an axe whilst nobody was around, and collected up her blood into a pot, which he mixed with seeds.
He was soon turned over to police by the villagers, and confessed to the slaying.
Via Heaven.
India of course has a long history of such cult practices, though clearly not so much in recent years…
religion isnt dangerous
right,right, everyone is asking, “so… how was the crop?” im asking, was the crop worth your granddaughters life? how could that old fucker look around his empty room and say …hmm, human sacrafice, eh?…. well there is my granddaughter, might as well slaughter her ass like a pig and see if my luck changes. fucking tool.
At least she wasn’t burned alive…
I always wonder why the most gruesome news get such beautiful pictures?
Beheadings make me think of Voltaire’s “Headless Waltz”.
