Ukrainian vampire drugged children and drank their blood

A vampire has been arrested in Ukraine after luring street children into her home for their blood.



Diana Semenuha, 29, believed that drinking blood could fend off a muscle-wasting condition.

She kept the children intoxicated on drugs and alcohol and bled them regularly, selling the surplus to other black magic practitioners. When that weakened them, she dumped them back on the streets and lured replacements with the promise of a place to sleep and a hot meal.

Police raided Semenuha's apartment in the Black Sea port of Odessa after a tip-off.

Olga Buravceva, a spokesman, said: "The apartment was painted black, with all the windows covered with thick black cloth to stop natural light coming in. The only light came from black candles, and there was a heavy, sickening odour of some sort of incense in the air."

Detectives found seven drugged children strapped to beds and benches, and a large, black knife and silver goblet engraved with satanic symbols.

Ukraine has an estimated 200,000 street children, whose widespread addiction to glue sniffing and alcohol made them easy prey for the woman dubbed the "vampire witch" by local media.

Semenuha's arrest exposed an occult network in the city. Many claimed to have been taught by Semenuha and said that she would cut herself and let them drink her blood.

One of the children, named only as Andrei, told police: "She gave me vodka and I sniffed some glue. But than she came up to me with a syringe and asked me to stretch out my hand. I didn't feel any pain because I was too scared. She drew the blood with the syringe and a needle and than put it in her silver bowl and drank it, murmuring in some strange language."

Semenuha, who when arrested gave her profession as "witch", has admitted holding the children. "I let them sniff glue, but I paid for it and took a small amount of blood in return," she said. "But there was no violence involved, I also fed them and gave them shelter."

Police fear that she could escape prosecution for corrupting minors and plying them with alcohol because the seven children found at her home have since escaped from care and gone back on the streets.

That should have been "Ukrainian vampire drugged children thend rank their blood."

She sounds like such a nice lady.



I have a sudden urge to drug her and drink her blood.

What a crazy B****

I don't even know what to say.

People like her and black magic practitioners still exist Well at least she did not kill them they could have met a worse fate.

Hmm . . . .

You can still buy blood on the streets? Hmm... I'd better go and yell at my local black magick guy for telling me he was out! That jerk!

Well... in exchange for blood, she gave them food and shelter. Heck, if I was on the streets I would gladly give her some blood.

Any moraly respecting vampire would have at least changed the needles. I doubt she did, and thus God know's how many of the children now have some disease.

Preying upon childern is the lowest of the low and whether she has pyschological problems or not she needs to be removed form society.

these people are crazy, we have the same thing here in the us, but we blame it on cult bs,

Can't blame my cult! It is about purifing the kids not stealing their blood!

The only reason this got so big is because she drugged them. If she had offered them a place to stay and shelter in exchange for blood it would have been just another story...

At least they were not badly harmed. Well, perhaps mentally they were. This is pretty sick but I can think of worse things adults have done to children.

I wonder how old the kids were?

that's business guys. i wonder how much money did she get from this deal

what a crazy B****

that is just weird. 100% strange. what a nutter
