''People believe it's something that exists,but it's a crime,''PNG police spokesman Dominic Kakas said.''People will have to be arrested.''
Both of PNG's national newspapers carried the story on their front pages with a picture of a burning mass on a rubbish heap surrounded by onlookers,including children.
The UN's special rapporteur on violence against women,Rashida Manjoo,in March last year made a savage assessment of the treatment of women in PNG,saying sorcery allegations were usually used as a way of depriving women of land and property,while misfortune or death were used as a reason for the accusation.
