Young people are denounced for cremating their grandmother alive during a ritual

A woman, identified as Teofila Camungay Cabusas she was cremated alive in a ritual provoked by her grandchildren. Those involved set fire to a bonfire and witnesses reported that the young people danced singing incomprehensible songs, surrounding her grandmother while she was consumed by the flames.

The unusual event occurred in the municipality of Balingasag The Philippines and local authorities are investigating approximately 15 relatives of the 84-year-old victim.

On the other hand, according to the website The Mirror, Camungay’s grandchildren, led by Cresanto Ercilla, 22, attacked her as a “sinner” and then purged her in the flames because she refused to belong to a religious group to which they they were members.

After the fact, the horrified neighbors denounced and immediately alerted the Police to solve the disaster, according to the aforementioned media.

Although the old woman survived at the time, unfortunately she died after a few hours in a medical center due to severe burns.

Meanwhile, the head of the Balingasag Police, Teodoro de Oro, believes that they did it for a money issue, this because he confirmed that the octogenarian had obtained a pension days before the tragic event and that he had decided not to give anything to none of his grandchildren, who thought otherwise. That is why the authorities understand that what happened would be a crime, so they are investigating the case.
