Warsaw - Two Polish satanists were jailed for two years by a court in the eastern town of Biala Podlaska yesterday, one for incitement to suicide and the other for profaning a tomb.

They were arrested after two suicides in the town sparked a police inquiry which discovered that a group of young people met regularly in a park to take drugs, and drink alcohol. Among their other activities were so-called satanic rituals for which they used the skulls from tombs in a nearby cemetery.
