One of those who were killed by crossbows was the leader of a sect

The man whose body was found full of arrows at the crossbow in Germany was the dominant guru of an esoteric sect, which also included the four other women murdered in this affair that shocked the country, according to local media. The case mixes suspicions of badual manipulation, medieval esotericism and suicide pact, but many questions arise.

Police said it took another two to three weeks to determine the circumstances in which five people, four women and one man, found in two localities in northern and southern Germany, separated from 600 km. All the victims were related, so intimately.

The man, identified as Torsten WW, 53, seems to have played a central role in the group. According to the RTL television network and the newspaper Bild, he would have behaved like a tyrannical guru to control the four women. Bild states that the man was "compared to several women that he controlled as a master".
