RESIDENTS
in the township of Tabubil, Western Province, are cowering in “horror and fear”
after a week-old baby was eaten alive in front of a shell-shocked crowd,
allegedly by the father. And the shocking act allegedly continued minutes
later at Tabubil police station last Thursday in front of curious onlookers,
including policemen and the town’s senior district court magistrate, Patrick
Monouluk. See more fromScoop:
An eyewitness who is employed by Ok Tedi Mining Limited told the Post-Courier
that the town is on “red alert”, with residents taking precautionary measures.
He claimed parents were restricting their children from going outdoors because
of fears that they could also be targets. “This is the talk of the day on
the streets here. All parent are fearing for the safety of their children because
cannibals are on the loose here,” the source, who sought anonymity because of
his employer’s media restrictions, claimed.
“Believe it or not I saw him eating the
baby by piercing its body with his teeth while blood spilled from his mouth.
Everybody watched him with fear.” Acting Western provincial police
commander Peter Philip confirmed the horrific act. He said the man entered his
home at Wanbin settlement at around 10pm and started an argument with his wife
who was nursing the baby.
Chief Insp Philip said after strangling
the wife, he grabbed the child and started bitting its head, neck and bosom.
“The child was crying in severe pain. The wife alerted neighbours who attempted unsuccessfully to take the baby from him because he was allegedly possessed by evil forces.
