Two women ‘beheaded and burnt’
2/5/08
Two women were beheaded inside a house and their bodies burnt after suspicions of sorcery in Togoba outside Mt Hagen yesterday. The women from Chimbu and Western Highlands went through a nightmarish ordeal since Monday when heated pieces of metal were poked through their bodies and hot wire coils rolled around their bodies. The woman from Chimbu was married to a local man and had four children. The Western Highlands woman is a divorcee and has a son. According to two eye witnesses, the women were suspected of removing the heart of a PMV driver last Friday through sorcery, causing his death.
