Scuba diving Satanists who hacked off the arms of a submerged statue of Jesus Christ are being hunted by Italian police.
The attack was carried out at a depth of 75ft below the surface of the sea on the statute which is known as the Christ of the Abyss.
It was sent to the bottom of the Mediterranean by Pope John Paul II in December 2000 at a ceremony for the Italian Diving Association and is a well known landmark for divers.
