Florida police are investigating a possible witchcraft-related sacrifice after finding a box of headless animals outside Falkeburg Road Jail in Hillsborough County.
The headless bodies of a goat, two roosters, some baby chickens and a dove were discovered in a box outside the jail on Wednesday.
'It was a disturbing discovery', said Detective Larry Mckinnon of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
'We feel like its some sort of ritualistic killing. Someone was clearly sending a message to someone inside the jail.'
Religious studies expert Dr Mozella Mitchell agrees that whoever committed the killings was trying send a message and suggests that it could be a part of a witchcraft ritual.
'Witchcraft, yes, witchcraft. I think it would be something related to that', said Dr Mitchell. 'It’s the act of some crazed mind, a person who's out of their head.'
Last week, Tampa Police discovered a box outside the courthouse containing a cow's tongue studded with about 100 nails.
'A cow's tongue with nails in it has been identified as a message sent to somebody to “Keep your mouth shutâ€,’ said Mr Mckinnon.
