PANAMA CITY: The Panamanian government has discovered a new mass grave in a remote domain where, in January, the remains of seven other people who, according to police, were tortured and killed through a devout sect were discovered.
Prosecutors said Monday, September 14, that they believed another sect was guilty of the new mass grave.
The prosecutor said investigators were overseeing the exhumation of the site’s remains in the indigenous Ngabe Bugle region, 350 kilometres north of the capital.
“At this time, it is not imaginable to find out the sex or the number of people,” Azael Tugri, prosecutor for the indigenous district of Nurum, told local media.
Tugri said investigators had to walk for 10 hours through the mountains to succeed on the site, near the source of the Chucara River.
The Panama Naval Air Service (SENAN) said in a statement that the tomb had been located after a thorough one-month record.
The photos on the online page posted through the prosecution officials in white are fit digging the ground under thick vegetation.
Panama’s TVN-2 channel showed photographs of what gave the impression of being fragments of bones displayed on a white sheet.
The spooky most recent discovery is connected through investigators to the dismantling last month of a suspicious cult and the arrest of its leader, a person close to the investigation told the AFP.
SENAN officials have linked the tomb to “alleged rape and ill-treatment of minors” through the devoted group.
The authority said the tomb had already been sent to a police base in Santiago de Veraguas, 250 km southwest of Panama City, for forensic examination.
Authorities made a total of arrests in the case and rescued three minors, a 14- and 10-year-old boy and a 3-month-old baby, according to the prosecution.
If confirmed, the obvious bloodshed would be the moment committed through a cult in this Central American country this year – the government says there is no connection to the sect “The New Light of God” guilty of the tomb discovered in January.
Researchers then discovered a mass grave in Altos del Terron, a remote network in the indigenous region, containing the remains of a pregnant woman and six young people over the age of 17.
The corpses were consistent with the blows.
A few days later, the Bibles, the messages alluding to Satan, and a lot of ropes can still be noticed in the blood bath, a makeshift church in a dense jungle used through the sect.
Police suspected that the leaders of “The New Light of God” were involved in brutal exorcisms and raided a church used through the sect, arresting 10 other people and rescuing 15 others.
Police believe that the victims were “tortured and slaughtered” and that the other 15 people were also “tortured and slaughtered. “
The prosecutor’s workplace later said the 10 suspects tied up their victims and beat them to death with Bibles, sticks and machetes.
Survivors told them that the sect leader had claimed that he was exhausting God’s orders to “remove the devil” from those suffering in violent exorcism.
