Family fears dead baby found in suitcase is victim of mother’s religious cult [Inquirer]

The religious cult that Ria Reshma Ramkissoon belonged to shunned health care and formal education. The leaders were known as “King” and “Queen,” and their followers called themselves “Prince” and “Princess.”

They were forbidden to interact with loved ones outside the cult without a member’s supervision.

And they may be killers.

Two days after police found a dead baby stuffed in a suitcase hidden in South Philadelphia, Ramkissoon’s relatives in Baltimore await a phone call that they suspect will confirm their worst fears: that the infant is Ramkissoon’s 18-month-old son, Javon Thompson.

Relatives fear that cult members starved the tot to death because he refused to say “Amen.”
