Cult responsible for death of four teenagers
As reported by Nowaya Gazeta Europa, a satanic cult, mainly consisting of teenagers, was established in Yaroslavl in 2006. Over several years, the cult carried out various gruesome rituals and sacrifices. They conducted their meetings in remote areas, near a cemetery, setting up an inverted cross and tying dead animals to it.
In the summer of 2008, eight people affiliated with the cult gruesomely murdered and dismembered four teenagers. Investigators revealed that the crime was carried out as a ritual. Ogolobiak, who was legally an adult at the time of the murders, received the maximum sentence for the crime.
