A Satanist whose work is believed to have influenced the killer who murdered two sisters in Fryent Country Park has been removed from Facebook and Instagram.
Danyal Hussein, 19, stabbed sisters Bibaa Henry, 46, and Nicole Smallman, 27, to death in Fryent Country Park in June 2020 after making a blood pact with a demon.
Since his Old Bailey trial, it has emerged that he was an active member of online forum ‘Becoming A Living God’, set up by black magician E A Koetting.
Parts of Hussein’s pledge to “sacrifice” women for power and wealth appeared to have come from the US author’s work.
Yet Koetting continued to promote his books to more than 200,000 followers on Facebook and YouTube.
The Press Association (PA) investigated this with the Centre for Analysis of the Radical Rights (C4ARR) and now Facebook has pulled Koetting’s page and Instagram account for violating its dangerous individuals and organisations policies.
YouTube was contacted on Monday but has yet to comment.
Professor Matthew Feldman, director of C4ARR, said some of Koetting’s work could amount to incitement to murder.
He said: “This is the best example I have come across of someone saying this is what you must do to become strong, powerful, rich.
“He has 87,000 YouTube subscribers and 128,000 on Facebook.”
“If 0.1% of people take that seriously, as Danyal Hussein clearly did, and think this is what I have to do to become famous, that’s 200 potential murderers.”
In his blood pact to King Lucifuge Rofocale, Hussein had pledged to “sacrifice” six women every six months to win a lottery jackpot.
Professor Feldman said Koetting had written about blood sacrifices to become rich, attractive and powerful – and even named the same demon, Lucifuge Rofocale.
Professor Feldman went on: “Koetting’s written works include texts that openly discuss and encourage murder.
“One book, Works Of Darkness, describes how to murder another person with a knife in a ritual sacrifice.
“Another book, Apex Of Eternity, advises people to study the terrorist handbook, provides practical guidance on how to kill another person.”
Apex Of Eternity was written for a Nazi Satanist organisation called Tempel ov Blood (sic), which has been cited as a major influence in seven recent UK terrorism prosecutions, six of which involved teenagers.
This summer also saw another double murder in Russia allegedly linked to a Satanist sect.
Professor Feldman suggested more could be done to support moderators of online content, and social media firms should “deep dive” into the background of figures like Koetting when they reach 10,000 followers.
Hope Not Hate, which works to combat far-right extremism, has previously called for O9A to be proscribed by Government.
The PA news agency has contacted E A Koetting for comment.
