Romania: A priest has received a 14 year prison sentence for his part in an exorcism
which killed a young nun. Daniel Petru Corogeanu led the ritual to cast the Devil out from the woman.
Irina Cornici, 23, died after being starved and chained to a cross at a secluded convent in the north-east.
Four nuns were also convicted of manslaughter and received sentences of between 5 and 8 years. They plan to appeal their sentences, although the Orthodox Church is unlikely to be on their side:
The Orthodox Church, which described the Tanacu incident asabominable, has promised reforms, including psychological tests for those seeking to enter monasteries.
It banned Corogeanu from the priesthood and excommunicated the four nuns.
