"A Romanian Orthodox priest who faces a murder charge after ordering the crucifixion of a young nun because she was "possessed by the devil" was unrepentant as he conducted a funeral mass for his alleged victim
Father Daniel Corogeanu, 29, said that the nun had been "possessed by the devil" and was "beyond salvation" in life.
He claimed that from the religious point of view, the crucifixion of Maricica Irina Cornici, 23, was "entirely justified", but admitted that he faced excommunication as well as prosecution, and was seeking a "good lawyer."
The nun was found dead last Wednesday, gagged and chained to a cross, after nuns from her order, the Holy Trinity, called for an ambulance in the remote mountain village of Tanacu in north-eastern Romania.
Prosecutors said they had charged the priest and four nuns from the order with imprisonment leading to death, after questioning all 24 resident nuns.
For four days prior to her crucifixion, Sister Irina had been kept locked up with no food or water.She was imprisoned after having an argument with the priest during Sunday mass, according to locals.
Church authorities said Father Corogeanu was banned from carrying out further duties pending an investigation and might face excommunication. The monastery would be closed if the accused were found guilty, a bishop said.
A police spokesman claimed that during questioning the accused said Sister Irina had been possessed and needed to be exorcised.They tied her to the cross after she had "protested violently", Mrs Straub said.
Members of the claim Maricica Irina Cornici was possessed and that the crucifixion had been part of an exorcism ritual.
A post-mortem is to be carried out, although initial reports say that Cornici died from asphyxiation.
Mediafax news agency said Cornici suffered from schizophrenia and the symptoms of her condition caused the priest at the convent and other nuns to believe she was possessed by the devil.
The Holy Trinity is located in one of Romania's most remote and poorest mountain dwellings, and has no electricity or running water.Sister Irina joined the order three months ago, after visiting a friend who lived there."
