An accused witch who was tortured with red hot irons and a pair of pliers told police she escaped from the clutches of several of her attackers by fighting back and eating their hearts.
Police in Papua New Guinea are still investigating the claims of the woman who, witnesses said, appeared to show no pain despite the torture she had endured.
Accused by villagers of earlier killing a child and eating the youngster's heart, the middle aged woman was hunted down, stripped - and the torture began.
Red hot iron rods were applied all over her body, she was stabbed in the chest and her left ear was snipped off with a pair of pliers.
Witnesses who watched the torture said the woman had also lost a tooth - but during the attack she shouted at the gang that she had killed several of their friends and eaten their hearts after they tried to assault her.
One witness told the Post Courier newspaper that while the naked woman was being tortured she showed no signs of being in pain - even when the hot rods were placed against her flesh.
'People who saw this were stunned,' the witness told the newspaper. The observer also said the woman had told her attackers the names of the people she had killed and butchered.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
