Court frees monk, nuns charged with exorcism death
A court has freed a monk and four nuns who are charged with killing a nun last month during an exorcism ritual, authorities in Romania said today.
The Appeals Court in Bucharest refused to extend arrest warrants against the suspects and ordered them to be freed, the court said in a statement.
The statement did not elaborate, but news television N24 reported that appeals judges cited procedural errors by a lower court. The five were freed from a Bucharest jail late yesterday. Today they were questioned by interrogators in the capital.
