Two women saved an eight-year-old boy from being killed by his Hispanic father who was attempting to cut off his arms as part of a human sacrifice in a cemetery

Jaymisha Pires and Corey Granberry grabbed the badly injured boy after his forearms had been slashed open. Joseph Ramirez was later tackled by a security guard at the cemetery where he had tried to kill his son. The 30-year-old told police that his dead grandmother told him to sacrifice his son. The injured boy was recovering in hospital with knife wounds to his forearms. Ramirez was taken to a hospital and will be charged with child abuse and assault with a deadly weapon on his release.
