It was also gathered that they were arrested after a female herbalist they had contacted for the ritual alerted the vigilantes.

The suspects were said to have told the vigilantes that they didn’t plan to kill anybody for the ritual but to sacrifice any part of their body for the “get-rich-quick ritual”.
