Couple beaten to death in bizarre healing ritual

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 - A bizarre ritual to rid a couple of their ailments left them beaten to death, and a teenage female relative fighting for her life at the Seri Sarawak flats in Jalan Imbi last night.

Mohd Ibrahim Kader Mydin, 47, and wife, Rosina S. M. Mydin Pillay, 41, whose heads were smashed, died on the spot.

Four close relatives subjected the couple to the brutal ritual which involved smashing their heads on a table and assaulting them repeatedly with crash helmets and brooms.

It is learnt the relatives deployed the treatment to make Mohd Ibrahim quit his chain-smoking habit, and rid his wife of asthma and liver ailment.

A 15-year-old daughter of one of the four relatives stumbled on the ritual and was horrified upon watching the couple soaked in blood and semi-conscious.

She attempted to escape from the flats. However, she was caught and beaten up by the four who are believed to be linked to a cult. The teenager has been warded in a critical condition at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital.

As I woke up and read the papers, I am amazed at what our society can produce. I mean they are people we see everyday, relatives and friends, yet they have no reservations in killing you, bashing in their heads and assaulting with weapons of anything they can find. It probably is not the first of its kind but when little children are involved, my pent up frustration just explodes!
