Satanic murder suspect apologised
October 10 2013 By Naledi Mailula

Johannesburg - Murder accused Linden Wagner wanted to apologise for his role in the alleged satanic killing of Johannesburg teenager Kirsty Theologo and the assault of her friend, a court heard on Thursday.

Wagner told the High Court in Johannesburg, sitting in Palm Ridge, that he had written letters to the girls and their families, which they had initially refused to accept....

He looked at Theologo's friend, seated in the public gallery, while he said this. She raised her middle finger at him. She was 14 at the time of the attack....

The girls were assaulted and Theologo was set alight as part of an apparent satanic ritual at a hill in Linmeyer, in October 2011....

Wagner, Harvey Isha, Robin Harwood, and Courtney Daniels are on trial for Theologo's murder and the attempted murder of her friend, and for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. All have pleaded not guilty.

Two other accused, Jeremy King and Lester Moody, confessed to the crime and were each sentenced to 17 years' imprisonment, five of them suspended....

'Satanic' child sentenced to eight years for killing friend Sapa 11 October, 2013

A satanist teenage girl who confessed to killing her friend was sentenced to in effect eight years in juvenile prison by the High Court in Johannesburg, sitting in Palm Ridge.

Judge Geraldine Borchers imposed a sentence of 10 years, two of them suspended, and ordered that it be served in the juvenile section of the Leeuwkop prison.

In a statement, the teenager confessed to killing Keamogetswe Sefularo on March 1, near Randfontein, after Sefularo decided to leave a cult....

The court heard that the girl had hoped to gain financially from satanism.

She believed her spirit would be able to get into key holes and into a bank where she could steal money, said Borchers.

It was horrific that such a young person could be lured into satanism because of a desire for money, she said....

Polish Archbishop Jozef Michalik Sex Abuse Comments Prompt Outrage: 'Child Seeking Love' Because Of Divorced Parents

WARSAW, Oct 8 (Reuters) - Poland's most senior Catholic  cleric said children with divorced parents were sometimes more  vulnerable to sexual abuse by priests, remarks that prompted a  storm of outrage though the church later said it was a slip of  the tongue.
               
The comments from Archbishop Jozef Michalik entrenched the  view among some younger Poles that the church is out of touch  with modern society and failing to properly confront allegations  of sexual abuse by priests.
               
In comments shown on Tuesday by broadcaster TVN24, Michalik  said child sexual abuse by priests was unacceptable, but the  debate about it needed to be broadened out beyond the immediate  physical or psychological wounds inflicted on the victims.
               
"And one has to say ... how many wounds are inflicted when  parents divorce? We often hear that this inappropriate attitude  (paedophilia), or abuse, manifests itself when a child is  seeking love," said the clergyman, who is head of the Roman  Catholic episcopate in Poland....
