A notorious Satanist who allegedly ate parts of his murder victims was found dead in his cell last week of an apparent suicide.
The Daily Mail is reporting on the death of Pazuzu Algarad, 36, who was awaiting trial for the murder of two men whose skeletal remains were found in the garden of his home in Clemmons, North Carolina.
Algarad, who was being held at Central Prison in Raleigh, was found unresponsive in his cell a week ago today at around 3:00 a.m. with a wound to his arm. He was pronounced dead an hour later from what authorities say was an act of suicide.
The self-proclaimed devil worshipper and his “wife”, Amber Burch, were about to stand trial for the murder of Joshua Fredrick Wetzler and Tommy Dean Welch in 2009. Algarad apparently boasted about the murders to friends, describing how he killed them, ate parts of their bodies, then burned the rest in a fire pit. A friend told police no one believed him at the time.
Animal bones were also found on the property which was owned by Algarad’s mother, Cynthia Lawson, who was also a Satanist. Police said the home was a sea of trash and animal feces with walls covered in pentagrams and depictions of the devil. The place has since been torn down and the plot of land put up for sale.
The Mail reports that Algarad’s name was originally John Lawson but his mother changed it to Pazuzu – the name of the demon who possessed the child in the film, The Exorcist.
Algarard had a tongue that was split down the middle like a snake and allegedly filed his teeth to sharpen them.
Prosecutors are not saying how his death may affect the case and only commented on how they are not celebrating the loss of life.
“He has a family, he has friends; we don’t celebrate the loss of life in this sort of situation. It’s sad for them and we have respect for them,” District Attorney Jim O’Neill said at a press conference.
This tragic end is no surprise, however. As Jesus taught in John 8 “. . . Satan is a murderer from the beginning. . .” and spares no one, not even his so-called “worshipers”.
