As if decapitation and ripping apart live victims weren’t
bad enough, the horrid Knights Templar drug cartel also forced its members to
eat human hearts, according to a government official.
The Michoacan state syndicate is arguably the country’s most
horrific organized crime gang.The region has been crippled for nearly two years by
fighting between vigilantes and syndicate gunmen.Chaos in the agricultural
state has worsened in past months as rivalries erupted between various factions
of the self-defense groups.Even by the murderous standards of Mexican cartels, the
Knights Templar is particularly gruesome. Its members are known for cutting off
the heads of those they consider enemies and sometimes boiling people alive.
Its former spiritual leader, Narzio Moreno, aka El Mas Loco
(The Craziest One) was notorious for his love of knives and guns and was one of
the world’s most-wanted cartel leaders. Mexican authorities twice reported
killing him — once in 2010 and again in 2014. It was his decision to add cannibalism
to his syndicate’s arsenal.Making members eat a human heart as a test of loyalty was
part of Moreno’s way of finding traitors.“The ritual ranged from dismembering people they intended to
kill to sometimes serving up the heart,” Alfredo Castillo, Michoacan’s federal
security commissioner, said on local television this week. He did not elaborate
on whether the practice is still in use.Via NYDailyNews
