A man in eastern Papua New Guinea
(PNG) was arrested for allegedly killing his toddler daughter by biting her neck
and heating her flesh. It is being
described as a vampire attack because he allegedly also drank her blood. Local
police are treating the act as an act of cannibalism.
Not the "Twilight" hipster kind. |
As reported in the International
Business Times:
The
child had been brought to visit her father by her mother, local councillor John
Kenny told the newspaper.
Kenny
said the man snatched the toddler, jumped a fence and run into the bushes. He
then bit deep into her neck, ate the flesh and sucked her blood.
Two
local boys who were climbing a coconut tree witnessed the scene and raised the
alarm.
"He
was just laughing at the boys and continued eating the flesh and sucking the
blood," Kenny said.
The
man reportedly dumped the body and fled but was later apprehended by police.
While the report at first blush
could be dismissed as sensationalist, PNG has shocking rates of violence
against women and children, including sorcery-related violence. See also this. If true, this really is a devils who walked
among us.
