Klara Mauerova, an innocent looking woman from Kuřim, Czech Republic. But looks can be deceiving and don’t be fooled. This mother of two demonstrated evil in its purest form.

The torture and abuse she had subjected her two young sons to, could only be imagined by a deranged and dangerous mind.

The Horror

A local resident was setting up a baby monitor with a screen. To his horror, when he turned it on, he picked up a signal being broadcast of a naked little boy, bound in a dark room. He immediately called the police. Little did he realise the horrors they would soon uncover.

The Police rescued two young boys and a 13 year old girl that Klara had apparently adopted. They arrived to scenes that revealed a year long campaign of torture and sexual abuse. Between Klara and her sister they had beaten them with belts, put cigarettes out on them, sexually abused them and forced them to cut themselves with knives. When they weren’t abusing the boys, they kept them locked up in dog cages.

Just when the boys couldn’t imagine it possibly becoming any worse, they were separated, cuffed and left in the dark. They were forced to sleep in their own urine and faeces. They were locked away so no one could hear their cries.

Klara Mauerova takes a knife and partially skins the arm of one of her sons. She cuts the flesh into thin slices and then forces the boy to eat it. One week before they were rescued Klara and her sister attempted to drown the boys.

What could possibly make a young mother do such awful things to her own children?

Theory: The Grail Movement

It was rumoured that a cannibalistic, religious cult was actively involved in the abuse. The cult members believed it was their duty to torture the children into submission. They attempted to break their will through torture and abuse.

Klara and her sister, who were members of the cult, admitted to the sick abuse the children were forced to endure. They claimed that they were following the instructions of the leader of the cult, a man known only as the doctor. The doctor would send instructions via text message, outlining what he wanted them to do to the children.

Police investigators were unable to track down or identify the “doctor” and could make no connection to the Grail Movement. Although several people were confirmed to be involved, mainly family members, they concluded that the network wasn’t as big as the women claimed it to be.

According to the expert in religions David Václavík , the case had nothing to do with any religious movement.

Theory: Pornographic Videos

Police investigated possible links to the mother making pornographic videos and selling them to paedophiles. However they were unable to find any evidence to support this theory at the time, new investigations point more to this being likely.

Investigators believe that Klara Mauerova was involved with the sectarian group of Josef Škrla, which promised to “make money”.

The Thirteen Year Old Woman

In a more bizarre twist, after the disappearance of the 13 year old girl, it was revealed that she was actually a 33-year-old woman named Barbora Škrlová; despite Klara Mauerova having official documentation for the adoption.

A year later she was arrested under another false identity. She was now posing as a young boy in Norway. Her connection is unclear but it is obvious that she was involved with the conspiracy.

Justice?

Klara Mauerova was sentenced to just nine years for the unforgiving torment and torture to her two young boys. There doesn’t seem to be any clear cut reason for her actions other than some sort of financial gain. I believe that they were prematurely caught and that a larger plan was in action.
