MULTAN: The post-mortem report of a two-day-old girl has confirmed that she was buried alive and died five or more minutes later due to suffocation. The autopsy was conducted by Dr Muhammad Tariq and Dr Rubeena from the Kacha Khu rural health centre.
The grave of the child had been dug on the orders of the Khanewal magistrate and civil judge Justice Rehman Elahi, with the permission of the victim’s mother and in the presence of the residents of the area and the police.
The grave itself was identified by the infant’s father, who buried her alive last week claiming he did not like her looks.
Dr Tariq told The Express Tribune that the initial medical report confirmed the death was a result of the seven kilogrammes of mud which was thrown upon her. Dr Rubeena confirmed that she was physically healthy and had no impairments. The only thing unusual about the child was that her face was large. Samples have been taken from the child’s body and sent to Lahore to a forensic laboratory for a detailed autopsy report.
Earlier, the perpetrator of the horrific crime justified his act, saying that “It was my will because she was my child and every person has the right to do anything with their children.”
The man, who is in the custody of the police, has been threatened by residents who angrily demanded from the area magistrate that he be buried alive in the same grave where he buried his daughter.
“It was my will because she was my child and every person has the right to do anything with their children.”Police in remote Papua New Guinea have arrested members of an alleged cannibal cult accused of killing at least seven people, eating their brains raw and making soup from their snakees, a report said Friday.http://news.yahoo.com/cannibal-cult-arrests-papua-guinea-report-031436750.html
The 29 people were part of a 1,000-strong group formed to combat errant sorcerers who The National newspaper said had begun charging exorbitant fees.
The cost of a witch doctor revealing a cause of death or casting out an evil spirit was usually 1000 kina ($472) cash, plus a pig and a bag of rice, but some were also demanding love as payment.
"It's against our traditional ethics and morals for a sorcerer to have intercourse with a man's wife or teenage daughter," said one local cult leader in the Tangi area, inland from Madang province on PNG's northeast coast.
"That was the main cause of frustration that led to the forming of a group to hunt down sorcerers.
"Over time, as suspects were released to carry on as sorcerers, we got tired and fed up."
There is a widespread belief in sorcery in PNG where many people do not accept natural causes as an explanation for misfortune, illness, accidents or death.
Locals determined to get revenge on the profiteering witch doctors sought their own supernatural training from village chiefs, using their "possessed" bush knives to hunt down and kill seven people since April, the report said.
"We ate their brains raw and took body parts such as livers, hearts, snake and others back to the hausman (traditional men's houses) for our chief trainers to create other powers for the members to use," one of those arrested said.
The killings saw police raid Biamb village last week and arrest 29 people, eight of them women.
A local expert in the supernatural cited by the newspaper said the way the group operated was different from traditional PNG hausman practice, which would normally see specific people trained to hunt a sanguma (sorcerer).
"But these people never kill sorcerers in broad daylight, mutilate and eat sorcerers' flesh, livers, and hearts or make soup from the snake of sorcerers," he said.
"This is insane and the cannibalism (of this group) goes beyond the local culture."
Madang provincial police commander Anthony Wagambie urged other followers of the group, believed to number more than 1,000, to surrender.
"It is the tip of the iceberg and more needs to be done to educate locals to eradicate the movement," he told The National.
"Police cannot do it alone. It requires collective effort from government, responsible agencies, non-governmental organisations and the churches to work together."
Andrew Chatwin found a cat buried in concrete on his property in Colorado City, Arizona. He believes that the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is behind the cat being buried. He has seen several other dead cats in the area. Chatwin left the church 13 years ago, and he believes this is their way of having him leave the town. The cat did later die from its injuries.

North Korea has moved three stages of a long-range rocket into position for a controversial launch in defiance of international warnings against violating a ban on missile activity.knew it. loving knew it.
Foreign news agencies were allowed a first-hand look at preparations under way at the coastal Sohae satellite station in north-western North Korea.
North Korea announced plans last month to launch an observation satellite during mid-April celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the birth of its founder Kim Il-sung. The US, Japan, Britain and other nations have urged North Korea to cancel the launch, warning that firing the long-range rocket would violate UN resolutions and Pyongyang's promise to refrain from engaging in nuclear and missile activity.
North Korea say that the launch is intended to improve the nation's faltering economy by providing detailed surveys of the countryside.
"Our country has the right and also the obligation to develop satellites and launching vehicles," Jang Myong Jin, general manager of the launch facility. "No matter what others say, we are doing this for peaceful purposes."
Experts say the Unha-3 rocket scheduled for liftoff between 12 and 16 April could also test long-range missile technology that might be used to strike the US and other targets.
North Korea has tested two atomic devices, but is not believed to have mastered the technology needed to mount a warhead on a long-range missile.
On Sunday, reporters were taken by train past desolate fields and farming hamlets to a new launch pad in Tongchang-ri in North Phyongan province, about 35 miles south of the border town of Sinuiju along North Korea's west coast.
All three stages of the 91-tonne rocket, emblazoned with the North Korean flag and "Unha-3", were visibly in position at the towering launch pad, and fuelling will begin soon, Jang said.
He said preparations were on track for liftoff and that international space, aviation and maritime authorities had been advised of the plan, but did not provide exact details on the timing of the fuelling or the mounting of the satellite.
Engineers gave reporters a peek at the 100kg Kwangmyŏngsŏng-3 satellite due to be mounted on the rocket, as well as a tour of the command centre.
About two weeks before North Korea unveiled its rocket plan, Washington announced an agreement with Pyongyang to provide it with much-needed food aid in exchange for a freeze on nuclear activity, including a moratorium on long-range missile tests. The food aid plans, as well as a recently revived project to conduct joint searches for the remains of US military personnel killed during the Korean war, have now been suspended.
Jang denied the launch was a cover for a missile test, saying the relatively diminutive rocket and fixed Sohae station would be useless for sending a mobile intercontinental ballistic missile.
"During the recent senior-level North Korea-US talks, our side made clear there's only a moratorium on long-range missile launches, not on satellite launches," he said. "The US was well aware of this."
Japan and South Korea, meanwhile, said they are prepared to shoot down any parts of the rocket that threaten to fall in their territory – a move North Korea's foreign ministry warned would be considered a declaration of war.
The launch is scheduled to take place three years after North Korea's last announced attempt to send a satellite into space, a liftoff condemned by the UN security council. North Korea walked away from nuclear disarmament negotiations in protest, and conducted an atomic test weeks later that drew tightened UN sanctions.
