A 15-yr-old Satanist has reportedly burned down a 250-yr-old historic church to ruins
The teenage Satanist identified as Ignat Sharapov, has been detained after he allegedly confessed to destroying one of Russia’s most historic churches in an arson attack.
The school boy whose social media is full of Satanist signs and images, revealed to the police that he set fire to the structure by using five litres of petrol.
According to Dailymail, the wooden Dormition orthodox church on the shore of Lake Onega was erected in 1774 by Catherine the Great – and burned down in a raging inferno just last week.
An expert said it will cost £1 million to reconstruct the 138 ft church – as tall as a 12 storey building – at Kondopoga in Karelia republic in northern Russia.
A law enforcement source said:
“He classifies himself as a Satanist. Allegedly he just did not like the church.”
