A tourist couple have been found dead after performing a satanic suicide ceremony at a Greek guesthouse on New Year’s Eve, officials have revealed.
The bodies of Lilia Botuseva, 23, from Bulgaria, and her 30-year-old German boyfriend were found covered in blood in a rented room in Vlachata, a village on the holiday island of Kefalonia.
Botuseva is said to have sliced herself with a blade before her partner, who has not been named, stabbed himself in the bath.
A satanic pentagram as well as knives and candles were reportedly found at the scene.
Their bodies were found on December 31 by the owner of the guest house, where the pair had been staying since Boxing Day.
Coroner Angeliki Tsiola said the tourists appeared to have killed themselves in a New Year's Eve satanic ceremony.
She said Botuseva died first after cutting herself before her boyfriend filled a bath full of water and stabbed himself to death.
Botuseva had been reported missing since June 8 and family members had taken to social media in a bid to track her down.
They called off the search when she called authorities to tell them she was in the German city of Erfurt, Bulgarian news site Blitz reported.
According to Neos Kosmos, the pair had come to Greece in a car with fake plates that Botuseva's boyfriend had hired in Germany.
Villagers in Vlachata said the couple barely left the house while they were there.
