A court on Friday, Dec. 3, 2021, imposed Panama's maximum sentence of 50 years in prison on seven members of the cult who killed the woman and six children in a religious rite in the Ngabe Bugle hamlet on Panama's Caribbean coast.
The court in Bocas del Toro province sentenced two other members of the New Light of God cult to 47 years in prison each. On Jan. 13, 2020, the group summoned a number of villagers to its improvised church in a long wooden shed. Authorities said cult members used Bibles, cudgels and machetes to hit the congregants, some of whom were forced to strip, and walk across glowing embers.
