Two illegal immigrant members of the ruthless MS-13 gang were arrested in Texas this week and charged with killing a woman as part of a Satanic ritual, according to reports.
The El Salvadoran suspects, Diego Rivera and Miguel Alvarez-Flores, allegedly killed a woman they were holding hostage in an apartment when she spoke out against the group’s devil worship, ABC 13 reported.
After the woman, known only as “Genesis,” made the comments, Alvarez-Flores — the group’s ringleader — attempted to give a lit cigarette to a Satanic statue as an offering.
But he said Satan wasn’t having the offering, telling his fellow gangbangers that “the Beast” wanted a soul instead, the station reported.

Rivera shot Genesis once in the head on the side of the road before Alvarez-Flores blasted her in the chest, the station reported.
Cops found the body Feb. 16 but are still struggling to positively identify her.
Another 14-year-old girl claimed she ran away from school late last month and met the duo at an apartment in southwest Houston, according to court documents cited by ABC 13.
She stayed there for four days and claimed another man known as “Flaco” sexually assaulted her there, according to the station.
She was then taken to the apartment where Genesis was being held, and remained there against her will for 14 days. Her captors — six members of the gang — force-fed her drugs and alcohol, and at one point, Alvarez-Flores tattooed an image of the Grim Reaper from her knee down to her foot, the station reported.
Alvarez-Flores and Rivera — who are in the country illegally, according to KHOU — were arrested during a SWAT raid Monday.
They were taken to the Harris County Jail, where they are being held on $150,000 bond, according to ABC 13.
An immigration hold on both suspects will keep them from getting out of jail, according to KHOU.
Meanwhile, 10 members of the same gang — also illegal immigrants — were indicted Thursday in a wave of Long Island violence that included the slaughter of two teenage girls.
Best friends Nisa Mickens, 15, and Kayla Cuevas, 16, were beaten with baseball bats and hacked with a machete during an attack that began when gang members spotted them walking together in Brentwood.
The illegal immigrants indicted in the case are all from El Salvador or Honduras, and are among 13 people charged with crimes including racketeering and multiple counts of conspiracy to murder.
One of them was deported to El Salvador back in 2010 and sneaked back into the US by July 14, 2014, when he allegedly murdered Jose Lainez-Murcia, with whom he had worked at a landscaping company in Kings Park.
