Teen was beaten to death by his parents inside church after he was accused of practicing witchcraft

New York – A teen who was beaten to death inside of a secretive church by his own parents after he tried to leave was also accused of practicing witchcraft, said a witness inside the organization.

Witness Daniel Irwin, 24, who is a Word of Life deacon whose family leads the church, said that he heard the pastor at the Life Christian Church in New Hartford, New York tell the congregation on Sunday night that someone was practicing witchcraft.

Irwin told police that Leonard was beaten to death by a group of congregants – which included Leonard’s own parents and half-sister – during a ‘counseling session’ that went from Sunday night to Monday morning where his younger brother Christopher, 17, was also pummeled for hours.
