Woman Interrupts News Report to Confess to Stabbing Mother, Blames ‘Satanic Cult

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Police did not have to look long for a suspect wanted in a stabbing case earlier this week when a woman walked directly up to a news camera and confessed to stabbing her mother, claiming that her mother was a powerful leader in a Satanic cult and had to be stopped.

Katie Nichols told WVLT-TV that she stabbed her 61-year-old mother, Lauri Nichols, multiple times early Tuesday morning.

“The satanic cult in this city has been casting satanic spells on me for three, four days. I’m exhausted. I came home and found out my mom was the ringleader and was trying to kill my daughter,” Nichols told the news crew.

“I had to kill her. She was going to kill both of us. She was so powerful, I had no idea, I had no idea that my mother was that powerful,” Nichols said.
