Court orders review of expert opinions in Czech cult killings case

Prague’s Municipal Court has ordered a review of expert opinions in the case of killings centred on a cult based in Kutná Hora, Central Bohemia, iRozhlas.cz reported. The head of the judges panel said on Wednesday that it was not possible to decide whether two women accused of killing the cult’s leader and another person were of unsound mind at the time.

The results of the review should be ready by next March at the latest.

Last week court appointed experts gave differing opinions with regard to the sanity of the women, who say that they carried out the killings last year at the leader’s request.
