A TODDLER whose remains were found in a suitcase was starved to death by members of a religious cult - including his mother - because he refused to say "amen" after meals, it has been revealed.
Ria Ramkissoon, the mother of Javon Thompson, has been charged with first-degree murder over the boy's death, and Baltimore police said three other members of a group called 1 Mind Ministries have also been charged.
Police and Ramkissoon's family say the group is a cult.
Members did not seek medical care for Javon when he stopped breathing and the boy died in his mother's arms, according to court documents that described police interviews with a confidential informant and two children. He would have been about 19 months old when police say adults stopped feeding him in December 2006.
Ramkissoon, 21, is being held in the psychiatric ward of Baltimore's Central Booking and Intake Center, and a bail review was postponed. Her public defender declined comment.

Just when you think the Muslims have a monopoly on religious stupidity, along comes the fringe loony Christians.
