This is a bit bizarre but........ Village Dispute Ends in Cannibalism 7:48 a.m. ET (1248 GMT) February 8, 2000 PORT MORESBY — A village dispute in Papua New Guinea ended with a man tearing out the eyes, testicles and heart of another and eating them, police said on Tuesday. Villagers watched in horror as Moropia Silkapi, 35, attacked the body of Yakamup Makatu, 55, police told Reuters on Tuesday. "He gouged out the eyes, balls and heart and just ate them,'' Police Superintendent Ben Simanjon said from the town of Madang. The attack happened on January 31 at Ono Works camp east of Madang. Police said an argument between Silkapi and Makatu earlier in the day left Makatu's house burnt to the ground. After a fight, "Silkapi caught Makatu and smashed his head with a rock, killing him. He then ate him,'' Simanjon said. Silkapi was chased into the bush by villagers and tied to a tree to await police. But Makatu's relatives killed him before police arrived. Three of the relatives were arrested. News of the incident only reached Port Moresby on Tuesday.
