The leader of a vicious cannibal rape cult has been hacked to death in
the jungles of Papua New Guinea after he escaped from prison and
murdered a local woman.
Preacher Stephen Tari, whose 6,000-strong sect called him “the true
Christ” and referred to themselves as “flower girls” or “disciples”, had
been serving a lengthy jail term after being convicted of a brutal rape
three years ago. The 40-year-old, who had previously been accused of
raping, murdering and eating three girls in front of their traumatised
mothers, was one of 48 prisoners to break-out of a remote jungle prison
six months ago.
