(AAP) A crying man told a police officer “they did some voodoo to me” after he was found with numerous red circle marks on his torso, a Sydney jury has been told.
Constable James Dunn said he was called to a Sydney house in late 2016 where he saw a crying and shaking woman who said her husband was upstairs being held down and read the Koran.
The man’s grandfather told him he believed black magic had been performed on his grandson and he was being checked out to see if he was possessed.
Const Dunn was giving evidence on Wednesday at the District Court trial of spiritual healer Riza Morinaj who has pleaded not guilty to kidnapping in company occasioning actual bodily harm.
