That is one hell of a book they got there. "'Mother cuts out the heart of her daughter, four, as she listens to recording of Koran in ritual killing,'" from the Daily Mail (hat tip many Atlas readers): The 35-year-old woman was allegedly sitting in a her kitchen chanting verses of the Koran as her daughter's disembowelled corpse lay next to her. The little girl's heart and other organs were found in different rooms around the flat in Clapton, east London. Police suspect she she carried out the killing as a religious offering as she listened to the Muslim holy book on an MP3 player at full volume. The mother, who is understood to have two teenage children of 14 and 16, has since been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is in a secure unit. The gruesome scene was discovered by the girl's father when he arrived home to the flat on Thursday to find his partner clutching a kitchen knife. The man, believed to be a Muslim convert, dialled 999 and paramedics pronounced the girl dead at the scene. Police said next of kin have been informed.... That isn't all. Do read the rest.
