Cult slayings tied to demonic protection ritual
In Matamoros and Brownsville authorities say a Cuban ringleader led a drug cartel cult that killed at least 12 people including UT Austin student Mark Kilroy for human sacrifice. Five men were arrested in Mexico. U.S. officials expect more bodies and raids at the ranch and border area. Witnesses describe a mass grave, candles, and ritual paraphernalia as investigators search for further victims and the missing ringleader.
