A cult leader who committed atrocities such as forcing her followers to eat feces and embezzling large sums of money was sentenced to a heavy prison term.

On the 19th (local time), Singapore’s Channel NewsAsia (CNA) reported that a cult leader named Umeihui (54) was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison on 45 charges. This woman led about 30 followers who believed in a spiritual leader from India for about eight years starting in 2012. She claimed she could communicate with God and made her followers call her ‘God.’

She demanded money, saying that to become healthy, one must eliminate bad karma and cultivate good karma. She forced her followers to disclose their assets and deceived them by saying that God would punish them if they lied, then embezzled their money. She lied that the stolen money would be sent to India to buy cows or to build temples and schools there. She also ordered her followers to buy houses, condos, and cars as a form of worship, which she then used herself. From 2012 to 2020, the amount embezzled exceeded 7.2 billion KRW, and she made her followers take out loans totaling 7 billion KRW.

If the followers did not fully obey, she subjected them to assault and punishment. She beat them with sticks, stabbed them with scissors, and pulled out their teeth using pliers. In particular, she committed atrocities such as forcing them to eat feces and making them jump from the second floor of a building. When followers tried to leave the group, she made threatening phone calls, and frightened followers who returned to the group were punished. The abuses continued for eight years and were brought to justice after some followers reported to the police. Netizens expressed reactions such as “It’s surprising that people believed the cult leader,” “The 10-year sentence is too light,” “She should be forced to eat feces in prison for 10 years,” and “She’s like Asahara Shoko, the leader of Aum Shinrikyo.”
