Man says he hit sister to free her demons

A Florida man says he hit his sister in the head with an iron so he could release the demons that he said were inside of her.

When Oswald Varemond's 80-year-old mother intervened and tried to stop him, he allegedly bit off her fingertip and started pulling his own teeth out, a police report said.

According to the police report, Varemond had asked his girlfriend, Yolette Lagrandeur, and his mother, Anne Marie Saget, to pray with him.

When they started to pray, Lagrandeur noticed Varemond "change," she told police. He locked the doors and jumped on Lagrandeur and started biting her on her back and beating her head with the iron.

He was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of attempted homicide, battery, false imprisonment and resisting arrest with violence.
