Teens in Texas murdered girl to make deal with devil

Two teenage boys were hoping to make a deal with the devil when they sexually assaulted and killed a 15-year-old suburban Houston girl in a satanic ritual, a prosecutor said.

Seventeen-year-old Jose Reyes and a 16-year-old are accused of carving an upside-down crucifix on her stomach.

Reyes and the boy, whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile, each face a capital murder charge for the death of Corriann Cervantes.

Authorities say that after the boys lured Cervantes to a vacant apartment in southeastern Houston on February 5, they hit her with an ashtray and toilet tank lid and stabbed her in the face with a screwdriver.

Reyes, who was arrested on Sunday, made a brief court appearance on Tuesday. He is being held without bond.
