In the early morning hours of October 6th, 1974, British man Michael Taylor committed a brutal act, murdering his wife, Christine, along with their family dog. This horrifying killing followed an intense, hours-long exorcism performed the night before, and the murder sparked public outrage regarding concerns about the negligence of the church officials who oversaw the medieval ritual. As the case unfolded, many questioned whether Michael was truly a cold-blooded killer or a victim of psychosis resulting from religious abuse.
