| PNG to toughen laws on sorcery killings |
|
 Papua New Guinea is cracking down on sorcery-related murders, which police say killed at least 50 people last year.
PNG's Constitutional Review and Law Reform Commission will draft tougher laws to combat the ongoing incidence of sorcery-related murders across the country.
Commission chairman Joe Mek Teine said villagers were using sorcery as an excuse to kill vulnerable people.
"When people are frustrated over aspects of their life they just use sorcery as excuse to arm people then kill people," he told ABC Radio.
Teine said the new laws would force rural courts to be harder on defendants in cases involving sorcery-related killings.
"If somebody is killed as a result of sorcery then whoever has done that will be charged with first degree murder, wilful murder and that the full force of the law will apply to this person."
Puri Puri (sorcery) is a traditional belief used most commonly in remote areas of PNG's rugged highlands region.
Sorcery is often blamed for sudden or unexplained deaths.
The highlands region had its first contact with western influence in the 1930s but for some groups it was as late as the 1960s.
Christian missions and the Australian territorial administration of PNG, along with the PNG government, did their best to end belief in sorcery, but strong superstitions remain.
Last week a young woman was stripped naked, bound, gagged and burnt alive in the highlands town of Mt Hagen in what some locals speculated was a sorcery-related crime.
Local police describe the murder as "barbaric" and said at least 50 people last year were killed due to sorcery accusations.
