(CNN)A Nepalese man has confessed to the murder of a young boy after saying a local holy man advised him that a human sacrifice would heal his ailing son, local police said.
The body of 10-year-old Jivan Kohar was found on July 24 on the outskirts of Kudiya village in southwest Nepal. The child had gone missing three days earlier.
Police superintendent Nal Prasad Upadhyaya, who headed the investigation, told CNN on Monday that Kodai Harijan admitted committing the gruesome crime with his relatives after consulting the priest. In some cultures, priests are believed to have magical or spiritual powers to cure the sick.
This is disgusting!!! Humans are really the worst poor little boy!!! and the worst thing is that the mf wanted to heal his son but killed an innocent boy I can't believe its ****ing 2015 and people still believe in that kinda ****. And murder is not ok regardless of what culture/religion you are part of
What the f are thESE comments in this thread. No it is not a part of their culture. It's more of a dark art/illegal practise even in their culture. Also Chinese people eating dog is not the same as someone ritually killing your kid in a gruesome and terrifying way while he calls out for help as he is being sacrificed.
