Chile - Baby sacrifice arrests

CHILEAN police on Thursday arrested four people accused of burning a baby alive in a ritual because the leader of the sect believed that the end of the world was near and that the child was the antichrist.

The three-day-old baby was taken to a hill in the town of Colliguay near the Chilean port of Valparaiso on November 21 and was thrown into a bonfire. The baby's mother, 25-year-old Natalia Guerra, had allegedly approved the sacrifice and was among those arrested.

Authorities said the 12-member sect was formed in 2005 and was led by Ramon Gustavo Castillo Gaete, 36, who remains at large. Police said Gaete, was last seen traveling to Peru.
