A female sect leader has been jailed for life for the murder of a four-year-old boy who she believed was the reincarnation of Hitler.
The woman, who is now aged 76, was handed the sentence after the Frankfurt district court in the German state of Hesse found her guilty of murder after the incident on August 17, 1988.
The woman had persuaded the now 62-year-old mother of the boy, identified only by his first name Jan, to think that the child had been ‘possessed by evil’ and had to be killed because he was the ‘reincarnation of Adolf Hitler’, according to German media.
After a catalogue of abuse, matters came to a head when the mother tied the child up and stuffed him in a burlap sack, which she handed over to the sect leader, who dumped him in a bathroom.
It is unclear what she planned to do with him, but while he was abandoned there, having struggled to breathe, Jan suffocated on his own vomit.
