The Twin Sacrifice
Do you believe in black magic? A 43-year-old man named Anil Chugani claimed that he was under the influence of black magic when he murdered the 3-year-old daughter of his childhood friend. Anil spent one-half of his time in Mumbai and the other in Morocco. While in Mumbai, he invited his friend Premlal’s twin daughters and son to his place one evening. The children were accompanied by a maid when Anil coaxed one of the twin daughters away from the rest and flung her out the window from a 7th floor flat. The girl landed on a car bonnet but was not able to make it despite being rushed to the hospital.
Anil later confessed that he had been planning the homicide for quite some time. He had been facing some health issues that were connected to black magic. A colleague in Morocco told him that sacrifice of twins was the only cure.

Ayesha used to provide private tuition to students after school and it became the death of her. A 7th-grade student who was being tutored by her for the past 5 years arrived at her door with a knife one evening. He stabbed her as soon as she opened the door. Ayesha raised an alarm, which helped the neighbors take her to the hospital, but she died on the way.
