An Australian woman who stole a pet goat and was involved in slaughtering it in a mock Satanic ritual in a church, was ordered by a court on Monday to apologise to the church and the dead goat’s owners.
Tracey Arnold (26) was drinking with friends at a Friday the 13th party in 2006 when she decided to steal the pet goat named ”Maddie” from the front garden of a house in the northern city of Brisbane, local media reported from the court.
The partygoers then broke into a local church, dragging the goat onto a raised platform and killed it in a mock Satanic ritual, reported Brisbane’s Courier Mail newspaper.
The goat’s head was later found by police in the freezer of Arnold’s home, along with a camera containing photos of members of the group with the head.
Arnold’s lawyer told the Brisbane Magistrate’s Court that his client did not have a ”macabre disposition” but that when she drank alcohol she made poor decisions. – Reuters
