It’s amazing how news outlets just take this kind of thing and run with it without asking any questions or providing any useful information.

He learned the ‘black magic’ ritual in Thailand. That’s so vague. Is there a book in Thialand detailing such a ritual? Black magic meaning what, exactly? Was he conjuring a Judeo-Christian Devil (Christianity is worldwide now, so that’s certainly possible) or some pagan, localized “evil spirits”. Did he learn ‘black magic’ from a Hammer film dubbed in Thai, or did he learn it from people in Thailand who actually perform such rituals and advocate smothering people – in which case, wouldn’t the authorities want to look into this?

Inquiring minds want to know…

Sounds like another case of a crazy MF saying “the Devil made me do it”, and the media, authorities, etc. saying – “oh, well THAT explains it.”
