SIOUX CITY, Iowa -- The investigation continues into the death of two
girls found in a burning home in Sioux City on Sunday.
Police said the girls, Kendra Suing, 10, and Alysha Suing, 8, were the
victims of a Satanic ritual slaying. Their stepfather, Lawrence Harris
Senior, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Police said Harris had been performing "some strange ritual" and told
officers he cast a spell that had gone bad.

Police Chief Joe Frisbie said the girls were dead before the fire and
appear to have died of strangulation and stab wounds. He said an
official cause of death won't be released for several days.
Frisbie said the fire started in the basement of the two-story
home.
Harris is being held in the Woodbury County jail on $2 million bond.
