PANAMA CITY — Seven people were killed in a bizarre religious ritual in a jungle community in Panama, in which indigenous residents were rounded up by about 10 lay preachers and tortured, beaten, burned and hacked with machetes to make them"repent their sins," authorities said Thursday.
Alerted by three villagers who escaped and made their way to a local hospital for treatment earlier, police were prepared for something bad, Baloyes said, but were still surprised by what they discovered at an improvised"church" at a ranch where a little-known religious sect known as"The New Light of God" was operating.
"They searched this family out to hold a ritual and they massacred them, mistreated them, killed practically the whole family," Baloyes said, adding that one of the suspects in the killing is the grandfather of the children who were slain.Ricardo Miranda, leader of the Ngabé Buglé semi-autonomous zone known as a Comarca, called the sect"satanic" and said it went against the region's Christian beliefs.
Religion! Always religion as the reason these people claim to do these insane atrocities!
