All cultures are not equal. One created the cellphone used to film women accused of sorcery being burned alive.

Women accused of witchcraft are filmed being stripped, tied up and burned by mob before one of them dies as they deny 'invisibly taking out a man's heart' in Papua New Guinea 


  • Video shows at least four women being threatened by gang with machetes

  • The women were accused of sorcery after a young man fell ill in the village

  • Gang claims they 'invisibly' took out man's heart and then put it back later
The footage was reportedly taken in a village in Papua New Guinea, a country where violence and murders linked to sorcery are rife.
In the video, the women have been stripped naked, tied up, burned and beaten.

The women were accused of sorcery after a young man fell ill in the village in Enga province in August, two sources on the island told The Guardian.According to social media posts, villagers claimed the women had 'invisibly' taken out the man's heart.
The suspects repeatedly deny the allegations, with one woman begging her attackers: 'My son, stop it!'

A man replies: 'Talk out, where did you put it? Burn her with the wire.'
Another woman says: 'I've got nothing to do with it,' says another woman. 'I am a mother with five children.' 
The gang later claimed the women returned the man's heart after they were tortured, apparently proving their guilt, according to the social media reports.
It is believed at least one woman died after the ordeal, but this has not been confirmed.
