Residents of several villages in East Java town of Sidoarjo have been put into turmoil over the past week with the disappearance of dozens of infant corpses from cemeteries, in what is believed to be related to the practice of black magic.

As of Tuesday, up to 24 infant corpses had been removed from graves, tribunnews.com reported.

Psychic Ki Kusumo who has been following the issue said the person stealing the corpses wanted to improve his black magic skills.

“The infant corpse thief wants perfect self-immunity. There are also those who carry out such thefts in search of wealth. Both are practicing black magic,” Kusumo said in Bekasi, West Java.

Kusumo said the thief may want immunity from sharp objects and fire, among other things.

The thefts were first reported by Sapari, 55, who guards Bonosari village cemetery in Sidoarjo, after he noticed that an infant grave had been disturbed.

After discovering more infant graves had been disturbed and corpses missing, Sapari reported the incident to police.
