Victim's name is Kepari Leniata she is the mother of one child.

Leniata was stripped naked by several assailants, tortured with a hot iron rod, bound, doused in gasoline, then set alight on a pile of car tires and trash in the Western Highlands provincial capital of Mount Hagen, police spokesman Dominic Kakas said.

Some of the hundreds of bystanders took photographs.

Rest in peace Kepari.

tears for this woman. More for her child.

Barbaric.

The Raven and Eagle
are husband and wife.
The dark one rules death
and the golden one life.

His cloak painted with sunlight,
Eagle soars the blue sky.
With feathers black as pitch,
Raven watches us all die.

Both must be as one
lest there be chaos on Earth.
So from every rotting corpse
there springs a new birth.

author not known

Rest peacefully Kepari.
