A priest in Papua New Guinea has been killed as a result of payback killings between warring tribes in Kunimaipa Valley, Goilala in Central Province.
EMTV reports the priest, identified as Father Garry Maria Inau was brutally killed by tribesmen a week ago.
Father Inau was from the district and was ordained there nine months ago.
The Bishop of Bereina, Rochus Tatamai, says pay-back killings have been occurring in the district since 2011, but have not been reported.
He says this one makes news because a priest was killed.
Police officers have now been deployed to the area to try and reduce the tribal tensions.
