In 2013, Leniata Kepari from Mount Hagen, Enga Province, Papua New Guinea was accused of witchcraft and was summarily convicted by a 'court of the angry mob'.

They stripped her Unclad, sexually abused her with weapons while people looked on.

Eventually, they killed and burnt her body. She had a daughter whose story is the reason we are even reading about her mom.

Fast-forward to November of 2017, Leniata's daughter went visiting another village called Tukusanda (in Papua New Guinea) with her father, where she was immediately identified as the daughter of the 'witch' who was killed in 2013.

The people concluded that, as the daughter of a witch, the girl, who was merely 6-year-old, must have inherited witchcraft from her mother and was, therefore, capable of killing them.

They caught the girl and started torturing her (maybe to extract a confessional statement from her) for up to 5 whole days.

Using machetes previously heated with fire, they peeled off the child's skin which made her suffer first-degree burns.

While this was going on, the child's father was securely held so he was unable to get help or make phone calls to relevant authorities.

Luckily for the girl, she was rescued by members of a local charity organization (Papua New Guinea Tribal Foundation) and Chilean Missionary, Anton Lutz.
