Pakistan - "Hayat Khan, an alleged killer of his sister stands in a lockup at a police station in Karachi on April 28, 2016. The Pakistani man who used a kitchen knife to murder his sister told AFP, that he flew into a rage after catching her using a mobile phone"

Hmm, a conflicting description:
"he caught his sister talking to a boy at the doorstep of their house"
"“I had repeatedly asked her not to go at the door but she did not listen,” said the man, who appeared to be in his early 20s, while talking to media personnel inside the courtroom. “This infuriated me and I grabbed a kitchen knife and stabbed her four to five times.”"

Fundamentalist Pastor Mack Charles Andrews, Jr. of Thomasville, Alabama, Raped a 9-year-old girl on her father’s grave.

"The 2013 arrest warrants also list the abuse of three other victims, two of them 13 and one 16 at the time the incidents occurred. There are believed to be others who were abused by Andrews over the several years he was pastor and principal. One girl was assaulted on a church trip to Texas, and she was also raped at Andrews’ home. One of the most disturbing aspects of these two incidents is that both were witnessed by the pastor’s own daughter."

"United Pentacostal congregation, which has since changed its name to New Life United Pentacostal Church, girls and women are strictly forbidden to wear make-up or jewelry or pants, and the church demands that all females wear full-length skirts."

And how did the congregation react? They blamed the girl, of course...

"“The people of his old church congregation have all turned against me. In their blindness of the truth, they blame it on me because I came forth finally and told the truth…. It’s funny to me how people who so radically claim their salvation have shown no love of Christ to me or any other victims in this case. The really wild thing is some of those congregants are actually victims themselves.”"

"A churchgoer shot a fellow parishioner in a Pennsylvania church after a fight broke out over a seat in the sanctuary on Sunday"

"Witnesses said Braxton started causing a fuss over the seat, but soon calmed down after talking to a church usher and a pastor.
But the situation soon turned violent when Mark Storms, 46, approached Braxton, carrying a gun in his hand and telling the 27-year-old to get out of the sanctuary."

"Just before punching Storms, Braxton asked, "What are you going to do, shoot me?" according to the court records. The gunman then opened fire, blasting Braxton once in the chest and again in the right arm."

Cape Town, South Africa - "Man who beheaded victim requests exorcism"

"Swartz admitted to strangling the Ravensmead teen on 17 October, 2013. He then stabbed him numerous times, and finally decapitated him."

"Swartz said he became a Satanist when he was 14"

http://www.iol.co.za/news/crime-courts/man-who-beheaded-victim-requests-...

Hooray for the judge:
"When defence lawyer Sheriff Mohamed asked him to testify about other exorcisms he had performed, Judge Steyn interjected. She said: “If you want to lead evidence on magic or witchcraft I’m not going to allow that.""

"Begbie told the Western Cape High Court on Thursday that Swartz had been possessed by demons and that was why he felt it necessary to perform an exorcism at Pollsmoor prison."

"The prison, however, denied the reverend permission to carry this out."

But, you cannot stop the power or prayers... Remote exorcism, activate!

"Begbie told the court that he had sent out the word to church groups to do a special prayer for Swartz... ...On Good Friday they all stretched out their arms towards the prison and prayed."

"He testified that he believed Swartz had a guardian demon who instructed him, “so he wasn’t in his right mind”.
The reverend further told the court that the accused was now remorseful and would like to apologise to the family"

It worked, obviously!

Hooray for the judge again:
"Judge Steyn responded: “This is not a case about satanism, it’s about a young man who took the life of another young man.”"
