An Indian man, Lakshmi Kanta Sarkar has been sentenced to death after he was found guilty of the gruesome murder of a baby.
The man is said to have decapitated the baby and drank its blood in a so-called occult ritual. He was found by villagers in a graveyard while he was drinking the blood from the baby’s head hanging from a tree.
