A Muslim woman -- who smothered her baby to death in Halmsta, Sweden with a copy of the Koran -- told police she was trying to save him from possession by the devil, the Austrian Times website reports today (November 2, 2012).
The five-month-old boy was found with 39 wounds on his body, most of which had been caused by crushing or battering with the Muslim holy book, say prosecutors.
"The woman intentionally killed her child. She smothered it to death and the Koran was the murder weapon," prosecutor Anders Johansson told the Swedish court.
But the 28-year-old mother claims she had suffered weeks of hallucinations and visions where devil's horns were growing from her son's head. The court case continues.
