10. Knights of the Black Circle
Ricky Kasso was a well-known Satanist from Long Island. He liked to shout “Hail Satan” at passersby and he was the leader of a drug-riddled satanic cult called the ‘Knights of the Black Circle’. He supposedly performed a satanic ritual at the vacant Amityville house (made famous because of Ronald “Butch” DeFeo Jr. who killed six family members because of “devilish black hands” and disembodied voices).
Whether true or not, Kasso definitely did murder his friend, Gary Lauwers, and made him say that he “loved Satan” while he was being beaten. Apparently, Kasso even bit Lauwers in the neck before stabbing him in the chest.
One of the witnesses testified under immunity saying that Lauwers was stabbed between 17 and 36 times, and that the assault lasted hours. Not only was this probably extremely agonizing for Lauwers, but the lengthy beating wasn’t even the worst part— Lauwers’ body was discovered with his eyes sliced out.
