Five-year-old boy's body found in suitcase after disturbed mum claimed he was 'possessed'

A fugitive mum who is believed to have murdered her son allegedly claimed evil spirits were controlling her five-year-old son a short while before his body was discovered in a suitcase. Dejaune Ludie Anderson, 37, is on the run after she posted several concerning posts on social media regarding demonic possession and ''death attacks'' and alleged there were evil beings disguising themselves as children according to official documents filed by Indiana State Police.

The victim was identified as five-year-old Cairo Ammar Jordan, whose body was uncovered in an abandoned suitcase found in the woods by a horrified mushroom forager on April 16, the Daily Star reports. Court documents state that Anderson believed her son was a demon who needed to be either killed or exorcised and she another woman, Dawn Elaine Coleman, 40, would post daily content about their beliefs on social media using 'vanity names' over a period of several months.

Only days before her son's body was uncovered in a suitcase, she wrote a shocking tweet which said: "I have survived the death attacks from my five-year-old throughout the five years he has been alive. I have been able to weaken his powers through our blood.

''I have his real name and he is 100 years old. Need assistance."

Coleman had apparently wrote, I'm using my blood for this ritual' a few months months earlier on January 5 while Anderson stated just over a month later that she needed to exorcise 'a very powerful demonic force from within my son.' In March, Anderson added: "Stop getting caught up in the vessels of this realm.

"You guys get caught up with how old the body is, if they adult and kids, etc. Don’t even know it’s a full-grown demon in the child body telling you what to do because you didn’t choose your soul.

"Better start using your 3rd eye." According to documents, the disturbing posts went on until April.

Anderson, who had been in jail, posted after her release on April 11 that she was 'on a mission' and "had to do some praying and killing," the documents alleged. According to an affidavit, location data later proved that both women's phones were in the area where the suitcase containing the youngster's body was discovered.

Fox 59 confirmed Anderson is reportedly at large and has been charged as a fugitive while Coleman has been arrested in connection with the five-year-old's murder. Both women are wanted on charges of neglect of a dependent and obstruction of justice.
