A man from Kerala who killed his relatives has stated that the murders were a part of an occult experiment.
According to police sources, 30-year-old Cadell Raja claimed that he was experimenting with astral projection, commonly known as an out-of-body experience.
He allegedly killed his four relatives, including his parents and sister, using a machete. Officers arrived at the scene due to a fire that had broken out, to discover the partially burnt and mutilated bodies.
Police are continuing their investigations with the assistance of a psychiatrist.
