Colombo: An astrologist had been arrested on Friday (20) by Hasalaka police for raping two girls, aged 16 and 10, in the pretext of conducting a ritual for the development of their educational activities, ‘Mawbima’ reported.

The victims’ father had accompanied the two daughters to the suspect’s office, where the suspect had inquired about their times of birth and had told the father to bring certain items needed to conduct a strong ritual.

The suspect had given the father a list containing goods of very difficult to find saying that the girls should remain in his office as their horoscopes needed to be investigated further.
