'Hussein was convicted of both murders on 6 July 2021... In October 2021 Mrs Justice Whipple sentenced him to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 35 years.' Danyal Hussein murdered sisters Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman in a London park. 'Hussein had drawn up a handwritten contract, signed in his own blood, which states that he had made a pact with Lucifuge Rofocale, a demon mentioned in the Grand Grimoire, a historic black magic text, to murder six women every six months in return for financial reward... Hussein was a viewer of videos by American self-styled occultist Matthew Lawrence, also known as E. A. Koetting... Hussein was active on Lawrence's Satanic-themed internet forum, Becoming A Living God, on which Hussein alleged he was a ‘psychic vampire’ and asked for advice about demonic pacts.' Note: the killer's consumption of Koetting's published material is documented by police evidence; there is no evidence Koetting knew of or communicated with Hussein, and Koetting is not accused of any crime.
