They say that the children were killed in Digras - close to the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra by a childless couple in a suspected black magic ritual to enable them to conceive.

Police say they are looking for the tantrik, or witch doctor, who advised the couple to "sacrifice" 11 children in accordance with black magic rituals.
They say that Vitthal and Vandana Mokle were married for 12 years but were unable to conceive despite frequently visiting doctors.
Investigating Officer Sheikh Abdul Rauf said that after initial inquiries they suspected foul play in the deaths of the children. All the children were aged between two and four and were related to each other.

Holy crap, that's a scary lack of empathy!
These people obviously don't want children for the right reasons. How could they do that to other parents?
