An American mother stripped her baby's guts to practice magic

In a horrific crime she committed, an American woman made dozens of stab wounds on her 8-year-old child, and gutted her baby, who was less than 10 months old, to carry out a magical ritual.

The British newspaper "Daily Star" reported that Sarah Janeway, 35 years old, extracted the guts of her infant son Zell Howard and stabbed her child 50 times, while working in witchcraft in their home in Virginia.

The police announced the death of the infant on the spot, while his sister was taken to hospital.

"Janoy sent her fiancé a letter telling him that he should not be sad when he returns home and finds them covered in blood," the police said in a statement.

When the police arrived at the house, the killer mother was lying next to her two slain children on the bed, with blood everywhere in the room.

She confessed to the police at the scene of the incident that they were responsible for what happened, as she was arrested.

And Clay Connell, a neighbor, made it clear that Janoy was interested in magic and that she had told him she did.

The mother was charged with second degree murder, ill-treatment and fatal injury to the children.
