A man who fatally stabbed a pastor — who claimed to have the cure for cancers caused by witchcraft — said he was forced to kill the minister outside of his church in Windsor Mill, Maryland, on Saturday because he had “spiritual control” over his wife. Daniel Patrick Degoto, 41, was charged with first-degree murder for the death of Pastor Raphael Happy-Ikenwilo,
53, of Rahamis Ministry International Church shortly after he surrendered to Baltimore County Police. Degoto allegedly stabbed Happy-Ikenwilo repeatedly as the pastor’s wife, Jennifer, watched. “Detectives determined that the suspect dropped off his wife in the parking lot of the location (church) and saw the victim getting out of his car, while the victim’s wife was seated in his car. The suspect rammed his car into the victim and the victim’s car. The victim’s wife was not injured in the collision. The suspect then stabbed the victim numerous times. READ MORE
