Spanish authorities have confirmed the arrest of a French couple in late December over plans to allegedly “sacrifice” their five-year-old son in the Sahara, believing the child to be “possessed.”

The arrest took place on December 21 in Algeciras, a southern port in Spain, as the family was preparing to board a ferry bound for Tangiers, Morocco.

According to a statement released by the Guardia Civil police force, a “couple of French origin” was apprehended with intentions to commit “the murder of their five-year-old son in the Sahara, under the belief that he was possessed.”

Both parents, reportedly struggling with psychiatric issues, were also subjects of a European arrest warrant related to the abduction of a minor, as indicated by the Guardia Civil.

The case remains under investigation as Spanish authorities assess the situation.
