If a murderer has not committed any sin but murdering, when
he dies and come out of his body, his feet will be tied to to a great demon
with a horse’s face and circle the world for three days. The soul is then led
to the regions of cold and snow and receives his punishment for three years and
six months. Thereafter he is led to the chaos (hell) where it is scoiurged by
49 demons for another three years and
six months.
It is then led to another chaos before Persephonē who chastise him for another
three years and six months.
Thereafter, it is
carried to the midst, and on its way, the rulers chastise it another three
years and six months.
Then finally it
will be judged by the Virgin of Light, cast into outer darkness, destroyed and
dissolved.

Pistis
Sophia, Chapter 145
Mary said: "Woe, woe, unto sinners!"
Salome answered and said: "My Lord Jesus, a
murderer who hath never committed any sin but murdering, if he cometh out of
the body, what is his chastisement?
Of the chastisement of the murderer.Jesus answered and said: "A murderer who . hath never committed any sin but murdering, if his
time is completed through the sphere, that he cometh out of the body, the
receivers of Yaldabaōth come and lead his soul out of the body and bind it by
its feet to a great demon with a horse's face, and he spendeth three days
circling round with it in the world.
"Thereafter they lead it into the
regions of the cold and of the snow, and they take vengeance on it there three
years and six months.
"Thereafter they lead it down into the
chaos before Yaldabaōth and his forty-and-nine demons, and every one of his
demons scourgeth it another three years and six months.
"Thereafter they lead it down into the
chaos before Persephonē and take vengeance on it with her chastisements another
three years and six months.
"Thereafter they carry it on to the way of the
midst, and every one of the rulers of the way of the midst taketh vengeance on
it with the chastisements of its regions another three years and six months.
"Thereafter they lead it unto the Virgin of
Light, who judgeth the righteous and the sinners, that she may judge it. And
when the sphere turneth itself, she commandeth that it shall be cast into the
outer darkness until the time when the darkness of the midst shall be upraised;
it [the soul] will be destroyed and dissolved.
"This is the chastisement of the murderer."
