Panama: Mass grave uncovered in area linked to religious sect
Published 8 hours ago
Police in Panama say they are investigating a mass grave which they believe contains the remains of people killed by a religious sect.
Investigators are supervising the removal of skeletal remains from the site in the remote north-western indigenous Ngäbe-Buglé region.
In January a grave containing seven bodies was found nearby.
The victims were linked to a religious sect which was believed to be carrying out violent exorcisms.
