AN AUSTRALIAN woman who stole a goat and was involved in slaughtering it in a mock Satanic ritual in a church has been ordered to apologise to the church and the pet’s owners.
Tracey Arnold, 26, was drinking with friends at a “Friday the 13th” party in 2006 when she decided to steal the goat, named Maddie, from the garden of a house in the northern city of Brisbane.
The partygoers then broke into a church, dragging the goat on to a raised platform and killed it in a Satanic-style ritual.
The goat’s head was later found by police in the freezer of Arnold’s home, along with a camera containing photos of members of the group with the head.
Arnold’s lawyer told the Brisbane Magistrates Court yesterday that his client did not have a “macabre disposition” but that when she drank alcohol, she made poor decisions.
Arnold was ordered to apologise in person to the goat’s owners and the Bellbowrie Community Church and undergo psychiatric treatment. She was also ordered to pay A$70 (£31) compensation to the goat’s owners and A$1,535 to the church.
