Inside the chilling Satanic obsession of the parents of baby boy who lay dead for months in a grubby Adelaide motel room with incense masking the smell: ‘Dark Lord’

Police say an infant boy was found dead in a room at Adelaide’s Tollgate Motel during a welfare check, and his parents have been charged with criminal neglect and concealing human remains. The case has prompted scrutiny of the couple’s circumstances and online posts, but the charges are allegations and the article does not establish why the child died.

Yue Ning Lieu, 42, and Benjamin Nicholas Houghton, 40, had reportedly lived at the motel since arriving in South Australia earlier in the year; police said they had no contact with state authorities. Houghton also faces a charge of hindering police. The article describes social media posts about Satan, missing children and conspiracy theories, and says Lieu had previously disappeared with her young daughter in 2021, leading to a police search.
