German satanic couple held after ritual murder Nothing better to create hits than this.
It has: devil-worshipping, satanic killing, with 66 machete and hammer wounds, "The victim was no longer recognisable", DNA analysis to discover his identity, black oak coffin, upturned crosses, Nazi SS rune stones, Count Dracula's castle, walls were covered in black cloths, "When Satan Lives", July 6, a date supposedly chosen for the satanic symbolism of number six, The shaven-headed, body-pierced Daniel and his pink-haired, leather-clad bride Manuela, occult chat-line....

I'll stop now, but there's more....

Wouldn't June 6 have been more numerically appropriate?

Well I guess I'm stupid as well, although the article uses July 6 as well as June 6

Too bad they didn't own a copy of Dungeons and Dragons, or this would be an open and shut case.

Hildago- what is this Dungeons and Dragons of which you speak? Is it like Mazes and Monsters or Dark Dungeons?

The area has held a strong attraction for satanists since 1993, when 17-year-old Hendrik Möbus, the leader of a satanist group, murdered a fellow pupil....

Möbus latched onto the radical right after his release from prison in 1998 after serving five years of an eight-year term.

He became a popular figure on the far-right scene following the success of his rock band.

Kill someone, join a rock band. It's the law.
