Defense Alleges 'Ritualistic Sacrifice' in Delphi Murders, Seeks Client's Relocation

Defense attorneys for Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murder case, have filed court documents alleging a conspiracy involving cultists and prison guards. They claim that the killings of Abby Williams and Libby German in 2017 were linked to a cult practicing Odinism, an ancient Nordic religion that has been coopted by white supremacist groups. The attorneys argue that Allen is not responsible for the murders and that investigators withheld evidence that could have cleared him as a suspect. They also allege that prison guards with ties to Odinism have harassed and threatened Allen while in custody. Allen's trial is scheduled for January 2024.
