29 alleged Papua New Guinea cannibals charged with killing 7 over sorcery fees By msnbc.com staff
Papua New Guinea police arrested 29 members of an alleged cannibal cult and charged them with the murder of at least seven suspected witch doctors.
"They don't think they've done anything wrong; they admit what they've done openly," Madang Police Commander Anthony Wagambie told The Associated Press in a report published The Telegraph of London.
The alleged cannibals -- eight of whom are women -- ate their victims' brains raw and made soup from their penises, according to the report. The 29 people were part of a group of about 1,000 who are against the sorcerers charging increasingly higher fees, the AFP news service reported.
"We ate their brains raw and took body parts such as livers, hearts, penis and others back to the hausman (traditional men's houses) for our chief trainers to create other powers for the members to use," one of those arrested said, according to AFP.
To hire a witch doctor to reveal a cause of death or cast out an evil spirit, one must pay 1,000 kina ($475) cash, AFP reported, along with a pig and a bag of rice, but some sorcerers were also asking for sex as payment.
"It's against our traditional ethics and morals for a sorcerer to have intercourse with a man's wife or teenage daughter," a local cult leader in the Tangi area, inland from Madang province on Papua New Guinea's northeast coast, said, according to AFP.
The suspects are in custody, police said, and the case was adjourned until Aug. 17. Murder is punishable by death in the poor South Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea, The Telegraph reported.
Wagambie told the AP four of the seven victims were murdered last week, adding that no remains had been recovered.
Not shocking considering that part of the world has been WELL documented for cannibalism over the centuries.
But are they a cult?..Or is it a tribe doing what traditionally they have done over the eons?

Now that's what I call 'bartering'!!

"They're probably all eaten up," he said.
Well in all fairness, the witch doctors were overcharging them to cast out evil spirits. Attempting to extort sex was a bad plan too.
I will bet the price has dropped considerably since this event.
Now the cannibals can get some reasonably priced demon casting out service.
Are you asking if men would only eat men, and women only eat women, as opposed to heterosexual cannibalism, where they eat the opposite sex?
I'm going to take a wild guess and predict that cannibals are mostly bisexual diners.
I was comparing the cannibalism cult to the episcopal cult......seems that if the church were more like cannibals the homosexuals would be the witch doctors....or is it the other way around?

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I wonder if they were serving 40oz. sugary drinks with the soup............................heard a certain planning board troll has booked a flight to New Guinea to sample the soup...............

That's crazy.
You always serve white wine or Vodka with human brains.

Instead of taking a 'wild guess' read the article again,slowly and realize the sarcasm of senders.
Wait, that might be too hard, so I'll just TL;DR it for you since I'm in a good mood.
21 of the 29 members were men (that means 8 were women)
They made penis soup.
