ARMED criminals in Port Moresby have murdered a father who tried to prevent them from pack-raping his wife and daughters.
The home invasion took place early yesterday morning in one of the PNG capital's squatters' settlements, The National newspaper reported.
The murdered man's wife and two teenage daughters watched in horror as more than 10 bandits shot their father and chopped up his body with an axe.
The three women were then dragged outside and pack-raped.
The dead man's wife said the criminals then placed her husband's body in their bed and set fire to the house.
The wife received cuts to her face and head, while the daughters were admitted to hospital with more serious injuries.
A third daughter, who was hiding in the house, escaped unhurt.
The mother told reporters that at 4.30am the bandits started smashing the walls of their home with axes and machetes.
She said her husband tried to defend the women but the bandits shot him and cut him in the neck with an axe.
"They decided to kill my husband when he tried to prevent them from taking us," she told the newspaper.
"I refused to go outside, so I fell on the floor every time they tried to lift me. They cut me on the head and face until I could not stand the pain," she said.
The wife believed she and her daughters would also have been murdered if not for a motorist who stopped after seeing the house ablaze.
She said the bandits mistook the motorist for the police and fled.
One of the attackers had been living with the family for the past four years, she said.
A neighbour said the criminals had first attacked his house, but he had slipped his family to safety through a trapdoor.

And the same effin' liberals who prevented this man from having the means to exterminate these animals, will probably be responsible for the animals being back on the street in ten years. Assuming that they're ever caught.

The politicians who voted to ban guns there should all be arrested, tried for mass murder and executed. The people who support gun control are morally responsible for the resultant carnage. They should be made to pay for their evil.

Yeah. Another big self defense success story.

Makes you wonder if the rapist murdering bastards were members of a particular relgion of peace.
I notice the story is devoid of motive, indicative of possible PC censorship.

This can't be true because Snopes debunked the "increased gun crimes since gun control in Australia".

Yeah. This kind of crime is on the rise in Canada as well. Anywhere they succeed in confiscating the citizen's guns, nasty things happen. The worst part is that in Canada, the authorities won't even respond, they're afraid of the criminals.

Assuming that they're ever caught. Sad and true, I thought 'animals', too, as I read the article. And of course it's nasty profiling to try to 'label' these 'innocent till proven guilty' animals but I wonder if it could be related to the roving gangs of young, unemployed muslims who've been targeting obviously non-muslim girls in some of the cities. This is just another sad, fresh example of the new gun problem of Australia, the UK and NZ. No guns for the law abiding citizens. But the criminals come well armed. And are often better treated than the victims whose lives they try to ruin.

Read this story from the journal "Pakistan-Facts.com" of Pakistani brothers who raped women in Sydney Australia. They claimed their innocence because they wern't familiar with Austrailian laws. They said that anti-muslim forces brought the charges. Hmmmmm. The event occured in November 2003

"Four Pakistani immigrant brothers face life sentences in Australia after they were convicted on Thursday of the gang rape of two teenage girls in Sydney..." (See URL for whole story)

Sh!+ I just noticed this was PNG not Australia. I almost make it a full day without a mistake. At least I got my taxes done before I started the brain farts.
