A Papua New Guinea man described as a vampire has been arrested after allegedly murdering his young daughter by biting her neck, eating her flesh and drinking her blood, a report said Friday.
Police called the grisly incident that occurred on Wednesday at a settlement near Lae “an act of cannibalism”.
The PNG Post Courier cited local councillor John Kenny, who was one of the first on
