SHOCKING: Man arrested for killing his daughter by BITING HER NECK and SUCKING HER BLOOD (PICTURED)

A man has been arrested on cannibalism
charges in Papua New Guinea after he took
his young daughter’s life by biting her neck
and sucking out her blood.
The three-year-old child’s murder has
shocked the country, which has become
hardened to numerous cases of witchcraft
and brutal killings.
Police said the murder of the child had left
the community all horrified and resulted in
the local paper, The Post Courier, running a
front page headline declaring: ‘Vampire
Father’.

The incident was described as ‘a sickening
act of cannibalism’, a comment supported
by police.
The father, named as Rex Eric, from the
Finschhafen District in Morobe Province,
has been charged with cannibalism and
wilful murder, although investigations are
still continuing.
Local councillor John Kenny, who was the
first to reach the tragic scene, said the
incident occurred after the mother and the
child came to visit the father, from whom
she is believed to be separated.
‘He grabbed the baby girl from her, jumped
over a fence and ran into bushes where he
carried out this terrible thing,’ said Mr
Kenny.
‘He held the baby close to him, bit deep
into her neck, ate the flesh, sucked the
blood,’ he told the newspaper.

Morobe, the father jumped over a fence
and ran into nearby bushes where he ate

blood until she was dead (stock image)
‘Two boys who were climbing coconut trees
nearby saw him and ran quickly to the
(nearby) settlement to alert the people.
‘He was just laughing at the boys and
continued eating the flesh and sucking the
blood.
‘The boys were scared and ran quickly to
alert the people.’
The baby girl’s body was found where the
father had dumped her in the bushes.
The man ran towards a church seminary
where other villagers grabbed him and
handed him over to the authorities.
Police said they believed the man was
possessed – a claim not unusual in a
country where sorcery and witchcraft are
still practiced in remote areas.
