Absurd

Three teen-age members of a satanic cult were convicted Wednesday of luring a 15-year-old classmate to an isolated shack and strangling him with an electrical cord. The April 29 killing of Sandro Beyer in the forests of Thuringia focused public attention on the rapid emergence of small satanic cults in former East Germany's once rigidly controlled society. The state court in Muelhausen sentenced Hendrik Moebus, the 17-year-old son of a state legislator, and Sebastian Schauseil, 18, to eight years in prison. Andreas Kirchner, 17, was given a six-year jail sentence.
