Daughter, 18, cuts off her father's head after he raped her in their Papua New Guinea village home
The Mail on Sunday ^ | June 16, 2013 | Richard Shears

A teenage girl chopped her father's head clean off with a bush knife after he raped her in their home in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.

Now residents of the village have formed a protective ring around the 18-year-old, refusing to hand her over to the police because they agreed her 'evil' father deserved to die.

A local church leader, Pastor Lucas Kumi from the village of Rang in the Western Highlands, said the entire community would refuse to allow the girl to be subjected to any official investigation.

'The people and leaders in our area went and saw the headless body of the father after the girl reported the incident to them and explained why she had killed her father,' said Pastor Kumi.

He told the Post Courier newspaper that the father, in his mid-40s, raped his daughter when they were alone in their house after the mother and two other children from the family went to visit relatives for the night.

'The father went to his daughter's room in the night and raped her repeatedly.

'The father wanted to rape his daughter again in the morning and that was when the young girl picked up the bush knife and chopped her father's head off,' said Pastor Kumi.

'We've all agreed that she is free to stay in the community because the father deserved to die.

'The daughter did what she did because of the trauma and the evil actions of her father, so that is why we have all agreed that she remains in the community.'

He said a ring of protection had been placed around the girl, who will be kept away from any official investigation.

'The community have also agreed not to conduct any formal burial service for the father.'

"Growing Up in New Guinea" is a 1930 publication by Margaret Mead. The book is about her encounters with the indigenous people of the Manus Province of Papua New Guinea before they had been changed by missionaries and other western influences. She compares their views on family, marriage, sex, child rearing, and religious beliefs to those of westerners.

your dates are off

These are the highlands. No outsider was there until after the war and then only the Aussies. The Highlands are still the wild west, with widespread lawlessness and crime, in a beautiful environment.

Manus, where Mead was, is an island off the north coast of PNG. It is low-lying, hot and tropical.

I wonder why Obama didn't do that to Frank Marshall Davis.

There is also a continuing tradition of headhunting and cannibalism in the highlands. This is a deterrent to tourism. If you're willing to tolerate the locals, you can pick up a nice piece of land for next to nothing. There are no progressives up there.

I wonder, did Margaret Mead ever really visit and understand these peoples or did she just write about them?

Plenty of people write things about which they scarcely understand.

Maybe it’s true but what if she murdered him for some other reason? Then again maybe they all knew her, and her father, well enough.

“LOL, those people in the picture are probably far more civilized.”

Not to mention self sufficient.

May be guilty, even probably guilty. One thing's fur shure, we'll never hear his side of the story.

In a very small village like that, everyone probably knows everyone else very well indeed. If all the villagers instantly believed the girl ... then it probably is the truth.

Good for the villagers.

I really think that Margret Mead did not know as much about those natives as she thought she did. It would not surprise me if she just more or less made it all up.

The idea of the “Noble Savage” is one that the left clings too but it is almost totally unsubstantiated by actual observation.
