A husband and wife who had apparently been possessed in Dehiaththakandiya last night had made a fire in a ritual of some sort and burnt a seven-year-old child causing serious injuries  and stabbed a 15 year-old-girl who had died upon admission to  hospital.

The ritual had also resulted in a 19 year-old boy being admitted with serious injuries. Sources say that the 7 year-old girl is at the Intensive Care Unit of the Polonnaruwa hospital.

The couple was taken into the Police custody.
