Boy, 10, mutilated and sacrificed in witchcraft ceremony in India

In yet another tragic incident in the Indian town of Pilibhit, a 10-year-old boy was sacrificed at the altar of black magic.

The mutilated body of a third grader was found by the boy's father in a sugarcane field in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, reports Daily Mail. 
 
The body was found in such a horrific condition that the authorities initially thought that an animal had attacked the boy. However, forensic report stated that the boy had been murdered brutally two days after he was reported missing by his family.

Investigations led to the arrest of a neighbour who later admitted that he had sacrificed the boy at a witchcraft ceremony in the hope that his act would lead to the pregnancy of his wife.
