Body parts missing from graves in Australia; police links it to satanism
Grave robbers have stolen human remains from an Australian
cemetery in two separate incidents over the past week, leaving police struggling to determine a motive.
. According to CNN, the police have appealed to the public for information about the theft of human remains from cemeteries, and which they suspect were linked to a “satanic r!tual.”
A spokesperson for Victoria Police told VICE that the first theft took place at Melbourne’s Footscray cemetery overnight between the 27th and 28th of January, while the second occurred between Monday night and Tuesday morning. In both instances the thieves forced their way into mausoleums, removed coffins and desecrated the graves. Nothing appeared to have been taken other than the “partial human remains.”
It is very distressing for the families, obviously they weren’t expecting this news to come from Victoria Police. They expect their loved ones to be put to rest, at peace. There were no known links between the two people whose graves were targeted, “Jarman said.
Jarman said police were unclear about the motive for the crime, which constituted theft and removal of body part offences, but he was not ruling out that it was linked to satanism.
