According to reports, a husband and wife killed themselves by beheading themselves so they could sacrifice their heads in India.
Hemubhai Makwana, 38, and his wife Hansaben, 35, allegedly “severed” their heads with a “guillotine-like mechanism” into a “fire altar” in Vinchhiya, Gujarat, India, yesterday for a ritual sacrifice.
The ‘procedure’ was performed between Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, April 16, according to Vinchhiya Police sub-inspector Indrajeetsinh Jadeja. The couple also left a note for their two kids, parents, and other relatives.
Mr. Jadeja said the note urged their relatives to take care of their children and parents.
The bodies have been sent for a post-mortem examination, and a case of accidental death has been registered.
The couple’s family members said the pair had been offering prayers in their home every day since last year.
