Police officials in Spain on Saturday said they arrested a French couple earlier in December for planning to “sacrifice” their five-year-old son in the Sahara desert. The parents believed that their child was possessed.
Police arrested the parents on December 21. The parents were arrested from Algeciras, a southern Spanish port. The parents were arrested as they along with their child were about to board a ferry to the Moroccan city of Tangiers.
The Guardia Civil Police force released a statement later saying that they arrested a “couple of French origin” who “intended to murder their five-year-old son in the Sahara, believing him to be possessed”.
The officials said both parents suffered from “psychiatric problems” and were subjected to a European arrest warrant for the abduction of a minor. The pair were remanded in custody by a judge in Spain. The child is in good health and has been sent to a reception centre for minors in Spain before being returned to France.
