Wales: A man obsessed with the Devil has been ordered to be detained indefinitely after he killed a vicar. No doubt fundie sites will be citing this as a case of Satanic crime by the morning, but they would be pretending not to know that he's not been jailed, but instead committed to a secure mental hospital. Geraint Evans stabbed Fr. Paul Bennett repeatedly in the grounds of his church.
Evans was initially charged with murder but his plea of manslaughter was accepted after three doctors presented reports to the court confirming that Evans was a deluded paranoid schizophrenic.
The court heard that he was obsessed with God and the devil and fixated with religion and knives.
...He was a subscriber and contributor to satanic websites using the pseudonym Jack Blade where he declared:I am satan.
