Horrifying murder. This is a sad consequence of a society that still encourages and rewards "faith" in primitive mythology and belief in nonsensical supernatural phenomenon backed by zero evidence.

The little girl known as "Baby Doe" was killed in her bedroom by her mother's boyfriend — a man who was convinced the toddler was possessed by demons, a prosecutor told a Boston courtroom on Monday.

Bella Bond, 2, was found by a dog-walker in a trash bag on Deer Island in Boston Harbor on June 25 and was identified last week. Horrifying details about the girl's short life and death were revealed in court Monday morning as her mom, Rachelle Bond, and Bond's boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, were arraigned. McCarthy was held without bond. Bond was held on $1 million bail.
