Koetting's murder apprentice gets 35 years

The teenage apprentice of E A [living god] Koetting who murdered two sisters in a London park in a bid to win the lottery, has been given two concurrent 35-year jail sentences at the Old Bailey.

Danyal Hussein, 19, killed Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman in a random attack, which he believed would act as a “sacrifice” to “the mighty king Lucifuge Rofocale.” 

Hussein stabbed Henry eight times and Smallman 28 times as she fought back, causing Hussein to cut his right hand with the 12cm knife. He then dragged their bodies 75 metres away into a wooded area where they lay undiscovered for 36 hours.

They were found by Smallman’s boyfriend a day after they were reported missing to police.

Police traced DNA gathered from the knife left at the crime scene back to Hussein, they raided his family home in Blackheath, south-east London. They found a contract Hussein believed he had drawn up with a demon – signed in blood – pledging to “perform a minimum of six sacrifices every six months for as long as I am free and physically capable” in exchange for winning the Mega Millions Super Jackpot.

Searches on Hussein’s computer found he had been researching far-right extremism through groups associated with Koetting. At Hussein’s trial earlier this year, it was revealed he made a pact agreeing to kill the sisters in exchange for power and wealth.

Parts of the pledge appeared to come from Koetting’s work, but he was able to continue promoting his work, including books, to more than 200,000 followers on Facebook and YouTube.

Handing out the 35-year minimum term on Thursday, Mrs Justice Whipple told Hussein: “You committed these vicious attacks. You did it to kill. You did it for money and a misguided pursuit of power.

“This was a calculated and deliberate course of conduct, planned and carried out precisely. Bizarre though the pact with the devil may appear to others, this was your belief system, your own commitment to the murder of innocent women. No family should have to endure this,” Whipple said.

Whipple said she was unable to hand out a whole-life sentence because Hussein was under 21. She said the usual minimum term would be 37 years for crimes of this severity, but that she had reduced it because of Hussein’s age – he had only turned eighteen three weeks before committing the crime – and his autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, which she said could “make you a person who could struggle in prison more than others”.

She decided, however, not to consider evidence of an undiagnosed personality disorder or psychopathy identified in a psychiatric report as a mitigating factor or to delay sentencing. At the same time, these were further examined because Hussein had refused to comply with the evaluation.

Whipple said he would only become eligible for release after a minimum of 35 years and that this would only happen “if at that point you are no longer a danger to the public”.

Hussein had declined to give evidence in his trial, claiming he was not responsible for the killings or for writing the pact.

Spectral Evidence conference organiser tells Palestinians to eat each other

Wiccan warlock Christian Day [pictured] has caused disgust and outrage after telling starving Palestinians to turn cannibal.   The twisted occultist made the shocking comment on Facebook after someone posted: “Palestinian kids are out of food and the world is doing nothing.” Day sneered back: “They can always dine on one another. I’m surprised they haven’t eaten the hostages yet.”   Day is already notorious. He was shunned by a large number of covens who felt that the world needed to be protected from his antics. These range from trolling to nasty, abusive posts   Despite being cast out, Day continues to flog his Spectral Evidence convention, an online occult jamboree boasting 75 lectures.  Day is alleged to have doxed fellow pagans, handing their names and addresses to a far-right Christian church. Though he hurriedly deleted the details, the damage was done, and extremists were effectively given a hit list.  Critics say he is courting controversy...

Witch Queen backs “Abusive Priest” as fury erupts in Wiccan circles

Co-founder of Alexandrian Witchcraft and Witch Queen Maxine Sanders has thrown petrol on an already blazing row in the occult world after publicly defending Christian Day, a notorious witch with a rap sheet of scandals longer than most people’s Book of Shadows . Day, who runs the online  Spectral Evidence shin-dig, has already hit headlines for all the wrong reasons. Most recently , he suggested Palestinians should be “eating their children” and has been dragged through court accused of elder abuse; he has also been slammed for stalking, racism and general nastiness.   Yet instead of keeping her distance, Sanders shocked many by leaping to his defence in a Facebook post, even mocking one of his accusers and brushing the whole saga off as little more than community drama. She wrote a lengthy post calling the criticism “spectacle dressed up as accountability.” She singled out one of Day’s alleged victims, using the mocking nickname “Spikey,” and accused him of hypocris...

Occult book boss nicked my sigils

NOTED Golden Dawn scholar Olen Rush has accused Kerubim Press chief Dean Wilson [AKA  Frater Yechidah] of stealing his research on tarot sigils and trying to pass it off as his own mystical revelation. Rush, author of A Short Treatise on the Sigils of the Scales , claims Wilson half inched his documented work on how Golden Dawn “King” and “Queen” court cards combine to form “Prince Sigils”. Rush insists the material, first published in 2010, was later dressed up by Wilson as if it had been spiritually revealed to him. Rush says the proof lies in old blog posts and emails from 2012 where Wilson not only praised his book but asked permission to link to it. He accuses Wilson of now denying ever having read the work while presenting its core ideas as his own. “He had the audacity to suggest we compare findings when he had already borrowed mine,” Rush said. The sigils are an obscure part of the Golden Dawn tradition, and Rush is the expert. Golden Dawn insiders note that Rush’s ...
