Human sacrifice in Nepal of a 10-year-old boy

A case of human sacrifice has surfaced in Nepal – this is because a 10-year-old boy has been found with his throat slit in Nepal and it is suspected to be a case of human sacrifice.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 27 July 2015.
The police have arrested eleven people in this regard following the discovery of the decomposed body of the child from a bush in the Kudiya village in Nawalparasi district. This borders with India. The boy had been reported missing for three days.

It seems the father of a sick man had admitted to the killing – he had done it "to chase away the evil spirits" from his ailing son and he did it after seeking advice from a village shaman.
As per his confession, he lured the boy with the help of neighbors to a secluded spot by offering him a pack of biscuits and the equivalent of 30p. Then he carried out the religious rites, killed the boy and dumped the body in a bush.
The man, his brother and the shaman are among those arrested.
Incidentally, more than 80% of Nepal's 28 million people are Hindus and sacrificing animals like goats or buffaloes to appease the gods is not unnatural.
