Leader of "Black Jesus" Cult Hacked to Death in Papua New Guinea

An infamous cult leader known as 'Black Jesus', who was suspected of cannibalism, has reportedly been chopped to death in a Papua New Guinea village.

Steven Tari, a convicted rapist, had been on the run since escaping from a prison in the Pacific nation during a mass break-out in March.

Police chief Sylvester Kalaut said that Tari and one of his followers were killed at a village about 12 miles outside Madang on Thursday as they were attacking a young woman.
