Man seeks marriage advice, then ends up dying after dark ritual to save relationship: Report

Times of despair call for desperate measures, but perhaps not quite as desperate as those that a poor man took in a last-ditch effort to repair his marriage.

Russian couple Anton Shabanov, 33, and his estranged wife, 29-year-old Lyubov, have separated after less than a year of marriage.

Their lives have taken different turns, and Shabanov, an engineer, is distraught and ready to do anything to bring them back together.

It is not clear how many other, less than-mystery The methods Shabanov tried before turning to the dark arts, but at some point he decided that a supernatural solution was needed.

According to reports, his search for such a ritual led him to Nikolay Ivanov, 32, a convicted fraudster.

The Russian Investigative Committee said that the couple’s property should be buried in a local forest, but when work began, Ivanov apparently mocked the Shabanovs and the two began fighting, according to the report. American Sun.

“The court has determined that a local resident, wishing to restore relations with his wife, has decided to use a occult ritual,” a committee that reviewed the case later said.

“In order to perform the ritual, he needed to bury their personal belongings in a secluded place outside the city.”

At some point, Ivanov allegedly chopped Shabanov’s head and neck with an ax, killing him. After using a tree branch to cover his body, he fled.

Ivanov later confessed to killing when caught by the police, was sentenced to 9 and a half years in prison and fined over $27,000 in compensatory damages.

The Privolzhsky District Court in Astrakhan determined that for the time Ivanov will be served in a “strict regime” labor camp.

Shabanov’s decision to switch to black magic surprised a friend of his, who said he knew the man was upset by the separation but didn’t seem like the type to turn to other methods. so.

“They broke up – they’re not divorced, they’re living apart,” the friend told Russia’s 360TV, according to the Sun.

“Naturally he was annoyed, but I couldn’t imagine that he would participate in the rituals to bring her back.”

Some commentator have said that nothing can drive a person crazy like a broken heart, and others have suggested that if a man is willing to involve the occult, perhaps the estranged wife was right to leave.

Either way, if you have a problem to deal with, as a general rule, it’s probably best to go about solving it without involving it. shadow art or conmen.
