A survivor of the cult ceremony that killed seven people in Panama recounted how she was blindfolded, beaten with a Bible and knocked unconscious while her nine-year-old daughter was decapitated. Dina Blanco, 24, attended the meeting of 'the New Light of God' where a pregnant woman, five of her children and a neighbor were killed in a religious ritual in a jungle community in El Terron, Panama last Monday. Authorities said cult members used Bibles, cudgels and machetes to hit the congregants, who were forced to strip and walk across glowing embers in the ceremony.
