BROCKTON, Mass. - Officials with the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office say a Brockton, Massachusetts, mother was following a ritual when she stabbed her two sons to death Monday.

Attorneys in a Tuesday court hearing for Latarsha Sanders, 43, said she told police she killed her 5- and 8-year-old boys in a ritual incident. It is not clear what the ritual was.

According to prosecutors, the 8-year-old boy was stabbed 50 times. Police say Sanders stabbed her two sons before putting them in separate beds and covering them with sheets.

Court documents show police asked her why she stabbed her sons, and she responded, “It was because of the voodoo stuff.”

She allegedly told police she mopped up the floor and put the knife in the kitchen sink.

According to court records, Sanders didn’t mention her sons to police or EMS when she was taken from the home in an ambulance.

When asked for details about the alleged ritual she was following, officials with the district attorney’s office simply said they are still looking into it, but she had supposedly mentioned rituals to her family in the past.

Horrible story. Oddly similar to the one I posted a few days ago, which also took place near Boston. What the heck is going on there?

Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. - Romans 1:24

Brockton and east Bridgewater are very close to one another. Brockton, especially, has a large population of people who come from the two countries where Voodoo is practically the state religion; Brazil and Haiti. The two incidents of ritual abuse on children were both involving Haitians.

The answer to that question depends on whether you believe in Satan.

Increasingly, I want to describe the times that we are living through as biblical.

...It is not clear what the ritual was.

Well, that's the understatement of the year...
