Pakistani father sacrifices five children 'to gain magic powers'

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

A Pakistani father-of-six is on the run after strangling five of his children to death, apparently believing the sacrifice would endow him with magical powers including alchemy, police said Friday.

Ali Nawaz Leghari, 40, killed the two girls and three boys, aged between three and 13 overnight Thursday in the village of Saeed Khan, 230 kilometres (140 miles) north of the city of Karachi.

"The man's financial condition was bad but he was also learning black magic and it seems that he made the sacrifice to excel in the craft," police officer Qamaruddin Rahimo told AFP.


Amjad Sheikh, the district's police chief, confirmed the incident which occurred while Leghari was undertaking a 40-day spiritual journey, known as a "Chilla" prescribed to him by a pir (living saint) that he hoped would teach him the art of alchemy.

Rahimo said that on Tuesday Leghari had attempted to poison the family's dinner but was spotted by his wife, resulting in a bitter quarrel.

The wife along with their eldest son left the house to go and stay with her parents.

With the pair out of the way, Leghari was able to successfully carry out his plan to sedate the remaining five children and then used a rope that was found at the scene to strangle them, said Rahimo.

"He strangled them one by one inside the room and later dumped them on a bed in the courtyard," he said, adding police were now hunting Leghari down.

Black magic practices are rooted in mystic Sufi lore and have traditionally been the domain of pirs and aamils (sorcerers).

The practice is particularly strong in rural parts of the country including the impoverished southern Sindh province where the killings took place.

that's messed up.

 

[The enlightened]

so did he gain the magical powers?

He'll surely get it under the police custody.

Bloody idiot. Jahalat at its worst.

This bastard diserves 1000 lashes to put senses in him.

Jahalat spread and supported by Pakistani politicians and Sufi traditions. Piri , mureedi, rape, pedophilia acts and Kale amal(dark acts) all are gift of our ancient traditional Sufism.

You forgot what Deobandi have contributed to Pakistan. For example kidnappings, hiding weapons in mosques and religious schools, supporting terrorist outfits and spreading sectarian hatred.

I hope the fool is sentenced to death and hanged. Killing one's own children for the most foolish of reasons deserves nothing less than death. He lived a fool's life and he can die a fool's death.

Sufism has nothing to do with this. You'd find ignorance propel the cultural insecurities to absurd levels and religion is mended to reinforce it. Search around you'd find that stupidity is normally distributed amongst all humanity. Reducing the problem from a sociological to an ideological one is, in my opinion, itself an unreasonable practice.

He will be.

henious barbaric act. Must be given death sentence.

black magic and sufism - no connection ET ALL. But a jahil can still find anything to suit his whims.

This low has sunken the level of journalism in UK. Black magic are rooted in mystic sufi lore? And the black magic that is performed world wide is conducted by Sufis, Pirs, and Aamils? A quick referral from Wiki (Black magic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia would have revealed some basic facts to the idiot who has tried to associate Black magic with sufism. Pathetic indeed.

This specific idea of amaliyat, I'm sure you would never find any non-Sufi believer involve in it, my question is where it comes from in our society? their are many sufi believers who think that mystic qualities are the highest level of sufism which can be achieved by sacrifices.

PS: This man might be a mental patient, from where do you bring in a whole sect. Stop propagating your sectarian bullshit. I knew some lover of Yazeed would bring in the whole sufi sect. Talk about brownie point scoring.
