Occult murder: Man said sex would exorcise demons

[rex]

Quoted from the article:

"A man who believed he had supernatural sexual powers killed his partner's best friend after encouraging her to sleep with him to exorcise her demons.

David Maxwell Shepherd, 38, was jailed for 19 years after admitting to murdering Malissa Mayfield at her Bossley Park home, in Sydney's south-west, in June 2006."
