Scuba diving Satanists who hacked off the arms of a submerged statue of Jesus Christ are being hunted by Italian police.
The attack was carried out at a depth of 75ft below the surface of the sea on the statute which is known as the Christ of the Abyss.
It was sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean by Pope John Paul II in December 2000 at a ceremony for the Italian Diving Association and is a well known landmark for divers.
Instructor Domenico Battistello, 61, who runs the International Diving Centre at Giglio, an island of the coast of Tuscany, 80 miles from Rome, discovered the handless statue during a dive.
'"The statue is well known to all the divers and it was placed there following a blessing ceremony by Pope John Paul II,' he said.
