One can run out of every adjective in the dictionary as a reaction to the human sacrifice where two women were murdered in Kerala, and yet, that would be not enough. Three persons have been nabbed by the police in connection with the murder, reports stated. The killing was gruesome—blood on wall, bodies mutilated and evidence of torture and even cannibalism, some reports state. Those reading this may be aware of the details or can check the same through credible searches.

The overarching aim of this edit though is to point to this darkest, most depraved of crimes that has been done for superstitious reasons. The women have been sacrificed, ostensibly for good luck and so-called amelioration of the two of the accused’s dire financial condition and dipping fortunes. This is an evolving case and more will be learnt even as you read this.
