More gruesome facts are emerging in the "killer-priest case"...
The case got even weirder than before when Belgian police suddenly arrested
Agnes Pandy, 31, one of the daughters of rev. Andres Pandy and initially a witness
for the prosecution.
Apparently she has now confessed to helping her father in the
killing of five members of their own family. "I strangled my own mother and
shot two of my brothers and sisters. We killed two with a sledgehammer" she
told the police.
Around sixty bones from four different women has been found
buried in three of Pandys houses outside Brussels None of the bones came from
any of the family members Among the dead are two ex-wives of Pandys, and four
of his eight children - two sons and two daughters. Twelve Hungarian women are
still missing.
Pandy was the head of 17 500 Hungarian Protestants in Belgium.
Today he is described as a tyrant and a monster. Many members of his church
claims to have given all of their money to him, and his driver has told of his
trafficking of Hungarian women across the border: "I often went to Hungary to
pick up new women for the reverend. Once I picked up seven at once. They all
thought they were going to be the reverends new wife. They weren't allowed to
speak during the travel to Brussels" According to Istvan Steffek, another priest
who knew Pandy, He treated his wives as slaves, constantly beating them , only
being interested in money and power.
Two women, Katalin and Magrit, managed to escape from the killer. "We were held as prisoners. He was very violent and he used us as sex slaves", they told the police.
During the month the police has been digging in the gardens
and in the basements of the reverends three houses in Belgium, a lot of bones,
teeth, axes and knives has been found buried. Agnes Pandy has told about how
bodies have been cut up in pieces. Some were dissolved in acid and other were
wrapped in plastic and dumped at slaughterhouses around Brussels Packages of
meat has been found in freezers at Pandys houses to.
Agnes also claims that she and all her sisters was abused sexually by the reverend. Her sister Timea got pregnant and gave birth to a son. According to Agnes it was Pandy who was the father.
