Journey Through Hell: 72 Illegal Migrants Reportedly Killed at Sea After Being Accused of Witchcraft, Alleged Killers Now in Spain
18th September 2025
Spanish police have launched a murder investigation after survivors reported that dozens of migrants were killed during a deadly Atlantic crossing from Africa, with the alleged perpetrators now housed in reception centers in the Canary Islands.
According to witness testimony, between 20 and 30 young sub-Saharan men aboard a migrant boat carrying 320 people from the West African coast conspired to kill fellow passengers during the 15-day voyage.
Seventy-two migrants were accused of witchcraft, murdered in cold blood, and their bodies thrown overboard before the vessel arrived in the Canary Islands on Aug. 25, according to an OKdiario report.
A total of 248 migrants survived the journey and are now residing on the Spanish archipelago.
Judicial sources said the killings began after disputes over food and water supplies. When theft accusations failed to justify attacks, the suspects turned to witchcraft allegations as grounds to kill. Survivors told police that groups of young men carried out the murders in an attempt to assert control and preserve resources.
The National Police are now working to identify all of the suspects, who are believed to be spread across shelters on the islands.
