\"png2\"<\/a>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 on Friday.<\/p>\n

Police called the grisly incident that occurred on Wednesday at a settlement near Lae \u201can act of cannibalism\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

The PNG Post Courier cited local councillor John Kenny, who was one of the first on the scene, as saying the three-year-old child and her mother were visiting the father when he grabbed the girl and ran off into nearby bushes.<\/p>\n

\n

Kenny said the man allegedly held the toddler close to him, bit deep into her neck, ate the flesh and sucked her blood.<\/p>\n

\n

Two boys who were climbing a coconut tree nearby saw him and ran quickly to raise the alarm.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cHe was just laughing at the boys and continued eating the flesh and sucking the blood,\u201d Kenny told the newspaper.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe boys were scared and ran quickly to alert the people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

When people arrived to investigate the man reportedly dumped the body in the bushes and ran away before being caught and turned over to police.<\/p>\n

\n

PNG is a sprawling nation where black magic, sorcery and cannibalism sometimes occur.<\/p>\n

\n

Last year police arrested dozens of people linked to an alleged cannibal cult accused of killing at least seven people, eating their brains raw and making soup from their penises.<\/p>\n

\n

There have been several other recent cases linked to cults, witchcraft and cannibalism, with a man in 2011 reportedly found eating his screaming, newborn son during a sorcery initiation ceremony. – Sapa\/AFP<\/p>\n
