Wiccan Woman Indicted for Murder in Alleged Human Sacrifice

(Albuquerque, New Mexico) A 30-year-old alleged practitioner of witchcraft, Angela Sanford, was indicted last week by a Bernalillo County grand jury for the murder of 52-year-old Joel Leyba in what is believed to have been a human sacrifice.

A detective reviewing Sanford's cell phone said the victim's phone number was actually programmed under the word "sacrifice."

Sanford is accused of killing 52-year-old Joel Leyba last month with a dagger, after inviting him to join her in a Wiccan celebration of spring.

Sanford claimed that she killed Leyba in self-defense although evidence shows she stabbed the man at least twelve times with a ceremonial dagger.
