AUTHORITIES in Germany have charged two members of a satanic cult with
attempted murder for allegedly stabbing a man repeatedly to drink his blood.
The superior court in the eastern German town of Neubrandenburg have remanded a
19-year-old woman and 21-year-old man in custody as suspects in the stabbing of
a 40-year-old man.
The victim survived the surprise attack.
The prosecutor says the two arrested had admitted their crime and acknowledged wanting to drink the man's blood in a satanic ritual.
During questioning, the pair said they'd been inspired by another German couple who killed a colleague in Satan's name in July 2001 in a macabre ritual.
The two were sentenced in January to 15 and 13 years in a psychiatric institution in a case that made headlines throughout the country.
