SYDNEY (AFP) – A Papua New Guinea man
described as a vampire has been arrested
after allegedly murdering his young
daughter by biting her neck, eating her flesh
and drinking her blood, a report said Friday.
Police called the grisly incident that occurred
on Wednesday at a settlement near Lae “an
act of cannibalism”.
The PNG Post Courier cited local councillor
John Kenny, who was one of the first on the
scene, as saying the three-year-old child and
her mother were visiting the father when he
grabbed the girl and ran off into nearby
bushes.
Kenny said the man allegedly held the
toddler close to him, bit deep into her neck,
ate the flesh and sucked her blood.
Two boys who were climbing a coconut tree
nearby saw him and ran quickly to raise the
alarm.
“He was just laughing at the boys and
continued eating the flesh and sucking the
blood,” Kenny told the newspaper.
“The boys were scared and ran quickly to
alert the people.”
When people arrived to investigate the man
reportedly dumped the body in the bushes
and ran away before being caught and
turned over to police.
PNG is a sprawling nation where black
magic, sorcery and cannibalism sometimes
occur.
Last year police arrested dozens of people
linked to an alleged cannibal cult accused of
killing at least seven people, eating their
brains raw and making soup from their
joysticks.
There have been several other recent cases
linked to cults, witchcraft and cannibalism,
with a man in 2011 reportedly found eating
his screaming, newborn son during a
sorcery initiation ceremony

ETT! Lord have mercy.
