WELLINGTON (NZ): A 14-year-old who nearly died during an exorcism underwent emergency treatment after relatives scratched at her eyes to remove what they believed was a devil.

The girl, who had pieces scratched from her eyeballs, is a cousin of Janet Moses, a woman who died during the ceremony, conducted by a Maori family in Wainuiomata, near Wellington, on October 12.

Relatives are believed to have used a syringe to force water into her eyes and poured water down her throat…

Isn’t it amazing what fanatics will do in the name of exorcism?
