Earlier, a shocking case of human sacrifice came to light in Kerala where two women were brutally murdered as a human sacrifice in black magic rituals.

The matter came to light when three people, identified as one Shafi, were arrested by the police, husband-wife duo Bhagwal Singh and Laila.

The Ernakulam magistrate court has sent the three accused to 14-day judicial custody which will end on October 26.

Kerala Police Chief Anil Kant has ordered the formation of a Special Investigation Team to probe the cases registered in connection with the murder of two women in a brutal human sacrifice case.

Kochi City Deputy Commissioner of Police S Sasidharan will head the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the case. Perumbavoor ASP Anuj Paliwal will be the Chief Investigating Officer.

According to the report, a victim woman was cut into 56 pieces by the accused in the ‘human sacrifice’ case. The remand report further revealed that the accused Muhammad Shafi and the woman accused Laila inserted a knife into the vagina of the victims.

According to the remand report, “In order to obtain economic prosperity, two accused Bhagwal Singh and Laila, with the help of prime accused Mohammed Shafi, hatched a conspiracy to commit the crime.”

A day after the case of alleged human sacrifice came to light in Kerala, the Kerala Police revealed that the alleged accused in the case had probably eaten the meat of the victims.

Kochi commissioner CH Nagaraju said in a press meeting that the main accused Shafi is a pervert and has a criminal past.
