News – World: Catholic priests murdered in Moscow

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Moscow – Two Jesuit priests were killed while sharing a meal in their Moscow apartment, officials said on Wednesday.

Rev Igor Kowalewski, the general secretary of the Catholic Russian Bishops Conference, said the priests’ bodies were found late on Tuesday in an apartment in downtown Moscow.

“They were brutally murdered,” Kowalewski said, adding they apparently were stabbed to death.

Kowalewski said one of the priests was a Russian citizen and the other a national of Ecuador.

Moscow police spokesperson Maxim Kolosvetov said an official investigation has been launched. He declined to comment on possible reasons behind the killings or to give further details.

The Investigative Committee under the Prosecutor General’s office, which took up the case, said the priests’ bodies were found at an apartment owned by the Russian branch of the Society of Jesus, as the Jesuit order is formally known.

The apartment building is located on the same street as the city police headquarters.

The committee said the victims apparently died of head injuries a day earlier. It said the victims seem to have been sharing a meal when they were attacked.

The apartment’s door was open, but there was no immediate information about any valuables missing from the apartment, the committee said. – Sapa-AP
