Man in Papua New Guinea Arrested for Being Vampire, Killing Daughter



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.
