Cultists Sentenced For Murder Conspiracy

Sat., Dec. 2, 1995

From Staff And Wire Reports

Two former followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh were sentenced Friday to five years each in federal prison for conspiring to murder the U.S. attorney for Oregon.

Sally-Anne Croft and Susan Hagan were convicted in July, five years after they were indicted and a year after they were forced to return to Oregon from England.

They were ordered by U.S. District Judge Malcolm Marsh to report to federal prison on Jan. 12.
