A cannibal cult leader calling
himself Black Jesus, who slaughtered his 'Flower Girl' followers and drank
their blood, has himself been murdered in the jungles of Papua New Guinea.
In flowing robes, Stephen Tari, 40,
a failed Bible student, once led 6,000 'disciples' through the mountainous
regions of the country, but was accused of killing at least three young girls
and, as their mothers were forced to watch, drinking their blood.
Calling himself 'the true Christ',
he was convicted of only rape three years ago - before the country brought in
new laws that meant convicted killers and rapists could receive the death
penalty - and was among 48 prisoners who broke out of jail six months ago.
Capture: The feared Tari was beaten by villagers and
tied up before being handed over to the police in 2007
Since then he has been on the run
with a handful of faithful followers, but his bizarre life came to an end when
he was said to have murdered a village woman this week and attempted to take
the life of another.
Surrounded by furious villagers on
Thursday, he is believed to have been beaten and hacked to death, along with
one of his henchmen in the remote village of Gal in the northern province of
Madang.
