A HEAVY metal rock band member was jailed today for his part in a Friday the 13th satanic ritual in which a pet goat was killed at a suburban Brisbane church.
Scott Peter Romano admitted there had probably been some type of satanic ritual involved in killing the goat, named "Maddie" but denied he had actually taken part in it.
However, Judge Kerry O'Brien wasn't moved and sentenced Romano to 12 months' jail, with parole after four months, which was twice what the prosecution had sought.
"Any right-thinking member of the community would find the behaviour bizarre and completely senseless. The only conclusion I can draw is it was some form of ritual," he said.
He detailed how the group bought a pocket disposable camera and a woman was photographed with her pants down rubbing her genitals on the goat's head.
Another group member was seen to take a bite of flesh out of the goat's head.
Mr Robson said police eventually tracked Romano to the home of a woman, Tracey Arnold, where they found the decapitated head of the goat in a feezer.
They also found a gravestone, weapons and animal skulls which "indicated" an interest in the occult.
Mr Robson said police questioned Romano, who initially claimed he was playing with his rock band - Mortal Sin and Misery - at a city hotel at the time but later admitted he was at a party at Bellbowrie on the night.
