Two elderly women were
beheaded in Papua New Guinea
after being tortured for three
days, a report said Monday, the
latest in a string of sorcery-
related crimes.

The Post-Courier newspaper said police
were present during the killings last
week but were outnumbered by an
angry mob and could do nothing to
prevent the grisly deaths.

“We were helpless. We could not do
anything,” Bougainville police
inspector Herman Birengka told the
paper, saying his officers were
threatened when they tried to
negotiate the women’s release.
According to Birengka, who described
the murders as “barbaric and
senseless,” the women were taken
captive last Tuesday by relatives of a
former school teacher who died
recently.

“The two women were rounded up
and taken to Lopele village after they
were suspected of practising sorcery
and blamed for the death of the
former teacher, who was from Lopele
village,” he said.
They were tortured for three days,
suffering knife and axe wounds, before
being beheaded in front of the police
who had been sent to the village to
mediate, the report said.

The killings come just days after
another report that six women
accused of sorcery were tortured with
hot irons in an Easter “sacrifice” in the
Southern Highlands.

Last month, a woman accused of
sorcery was stripped naked and
burned to death by a mob, with
Amnesty International stepping up
calls for an end to sorcery-related
violence in Papua New Guinea.

Amnesty has urged the government
to stamp out the practice in the
Pacific nation where there is a
widespread belief in sorcery and
where many people do not accept
natural causes as an explanation for
misfortune and death.

There have been several other cases of
witchcraft and cannibalism in PNG in
recent years, with a man reportedly
found eating his screaming, newborn
son during a sorcery initiation
ceremony in 2011.

Wickedness... Suffer not a witch to live!

They get inspiration from the Bible, as quoted above by Yomi. They are following his word!

Totally unacceptable! This Is wicked. Did the women agree to killing or practising this act? This is sooo unacceptable.

Yomii: Wickedness... Suffer not a witch to live!

I'm not angry and I'm not God but be careful the way you speak about him.... His ways are not our ways and he's thoughts are not our thoughts!

Ijele-igbo:

So you know nothing about God's ways and thoughts. Why then do you think he would be bothered about blasphemy?

You must understand God is one and every religion all serve one God!

Ijele-igbo:

Lol.. God is not one.. definitely not one...

The Christian God for example. A jealous God.
"Thou shalt worship no other god before me"?

Superstition coupled with stupidity and kava gulping is a potently dangerous mixture!!!

Really,?...Traditional satanism is a religion.Do they serve the same God with other religions?

This is not the christianity I know! Totally inhumane
